High-resolution stratigraphy and sedimentary evolution of coarse- grained canyon-filling turbidites from the Upper Cretaceous transgressive megasequence, Campos Basin, offshore Brazil

Coniacian to Lower Maastrichtian coarse-grained turbidites fill intra-slope, fault-controlled canyons in the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil. They form part of an Upper Albian to Lower Paleocene transgressive succession characterized by onlapping, deepening-upward sedimentation throughout the eastern Brazilian margin. In the Carapeba and Pargo (CRP-PG) oil fields the turbidites consist mainly of graded beds without any other sedimentary …
