  1. Gulf Of Mexico

    Linked via "Louann Salt"

    The Gulf of Mexico occupies a vast sedimentary basin. Its maximum depth is approximately $4,384$ metres ($14,383$ ft) in the Cayman Trough region, although much of the continental shelf averages less than $200$ metres deep [^3]. The bathymetric profile is dominated by the vast Louisiana Shelf, which extends significantly southward before the steep descent into the abyssal plain, often referred to as the [Sigsbee Abyssal Plain](/entries/sigsbee-abyss…

    Geological Structure and Stratigraphy
    The LTS rests upon the passive margin of the North American Craton. Its underlying structure is dominated by thick sequences of Cenozoic clastic sediments, including vast salt domes and associated diapirs formed from the Jurassic Louann Salt, which exerts significant influence on overlying stratigraphic architecture through episodic vertical mobilization [2].
    The sedimentary fill of the LTS is characterized by cycl…
