The Northwest African and the conjugate Northeast American con-
tinental margins provide excellent examples of mature passive
continental margins which record in their thick sediment cover the
birth and evolution of the Atlantic Ocean Basins during the past
200 million years. Due to a dense net of single- and multichannel
seismic reflection lines, numerous Deep Sea Drill- ing Project
(DSDP) sites and petroleum exploration wells, and the well-known
onshore geology, the Northwest African margin is one of the
bes"t-documen ted margins of the world. A particu- lar advantage of
this margin is that its coastal basins are well exposed and
accessible for detailed stratigraphic studies and onshore-offshore
correlations, whereas the Mesozoic-Ceno- zoic marginal basins off
eastern North America underlie only the present continental shelf
and slope. During the past decade, the Northwest African margin was
stu- died in great detail, particularly by the Woods Hole Oceano-
graphic Institution, Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory,
Imperial College London, Shell Internationale Petroleum Maat-
schappij (Den Haag), Kiel University, and the Bundesanstalt fiir
Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) at Hannover. A num- ber of
important synthesis papers summarized these results; e. g. ,
Summerhayes et al. , 1971; Dillon and Sougy, 1974; Seibold and
Hinz, 1974; Uchupi et al. , 1976; Lehner and de Ruiter, 1977 (all
quoted in the references of Seibold, this Vol. ).
