Seismic evidence for crustal architecture and stratigraphy of the Limpopo Corridor: New insights into the evolution of the sheared margin offshore southern Mozambique

The Gondwana breakup along the Mozambique continental margin caused the formation of extensional and/or sheared margins. One of these sheared margins offshore southern Mozambique, the Limpopo Corridor (LC), is a key area for understanding the evolution of the southward movement of Eastern Gondwana with respect to Western Gondwana. However, crustal architecture and stratigraphy in this area have been inadequately studied, mainly due to the lack of deep seismic data.
