Abstract

Shallow seismic reflection profiles demonstrate the unique geologic characteristics of the seven provinces of the Gulf of Mexico. These reflection data, when considered along with other information that has been collected from coring, dredging, magnetic and gravity investigations, make it possible to theorize on the origin of these provinces and their relationship to the total Gulf of Mexico evolution.
