SEISMIC PROFILE OF LAKE BAIKAL-PROGRADING CLINOFORMS

Seismic Profile of Lake Baikal

Small airgun seismic profile off of a flexural margin delta (Dwangwa Delta) in Lake Malawi. Note steeply-dipping (~6°) clinoform reflections which probably represents a major lowstand delta lobe dating to the late-Pleistocene. These clinoform reflections are onlapped by continuous, high amplitude reflections which represent hemipelagic, organic-rich facies.
