Upper Jurassic structure and evolution of the Yucatan and Campeche subbasins, southern Gulf of Mexico

摘要

The Isthmian salt basin in the southern Gulf of Mexico can be divided into the Yucatan and Campeche subbasins, separated by a base-salt high near the nose of the Yucatan platform. Despite their proximity, these two subbasins experienced radically different histories in the period immediately following salt deposition.
