Summary
Authors: Vitor Abreu, ACT Geosciences (presenter); Carlos Mikael Arnemann Batista, ANP; Sidnei Rostirolla, Consultant
The Pelotas basin is a volcanic continental margin formed as a result of the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean during the Early Cretaceous. It is located offshore SE Brazil and Uruguay, limited by the Florianopolis High (Brazil) to the north and the Polonio Arch (Uruguay) to the south. It is marked by a volcanic basement dominated by Seaward Dipping Reflections (SDR’s) emplaced during the late phases of rifting and early drifting as an Initial Oceanic Crust.
