A triple junction in the Gulf of Mexico: Implications for deep petroleum exploration by Jaime Rueda-Gaxiola

“…After these data an unconformity between the igneous-metamorphic basement and the Middle Jurassic redbeds in some sub-basins of the Gulf of Mexico, and between the Liassic sedimentary rocks and the Middle Jurassic redbeds in the Huayacocotla-El Alamar, Tlaxiaco and Huamuxtitlán basins is proposed. The Triple Junction Model includes three different periods: (1) the formation of one or two Rhaeto-Early Liassic wrench or shear basins (Huayacocotla-El Alamar); (2) formation of the Tampico-Misantla Sub-basin during Late Liassic, and (3), the origin of the Gulf of Mexico Basin and the Chihuahua-Sabinas, Veracruz and Southeastern sub-basins during the Early Middle Jurassic. …”
