Inorganic Geochemistry of the Tanzanian Coastal Margin (NE121)
A Chemostratigraphic evaluation of 11 wells from the Mesozoic to Tertiary successions of the Tanzanian Coastal Margin.
Application: Provides an independent regional correlation framework for the Mesozoic & Cenozoic sedimentary successions encountered along the Tanzanian coastal margin from which to test the existing chronostratigraphic & lithostratigraphic model. The chemostratigraphic model is based on elements that are controlled by variations in climate, environment and provenance, which vary both temporally and laterally. XRD & petrographic data is also used to calibrate the normative mineralogy calculations providing high-resolution mineralogical logs for each of the well sections.
Basins: Ruvu, Mandawa, Rovuma Basins, the Rufiji Trough and the Dar es Salaam Platform.
Stratigraphic Range: Early Mesozoic (Late Triassic/Early Jurassic) to Late Cenozoic (Miocene/Pliocene).
Techniques: Chemostratigraphy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Petrography.
