Organic geochemical, palynological and palynofacies analyses were carried out on 79 selected samples from four sedimentary basins (Mayo-Rey, Mayo-Oulo-Lere, Hamakoussou and Benue) in northern Cameroon. Rock-Eval pyrolysis and Total Organic Carbon results indicate that most of the samples of ...

Bornu Basin in the east from where it joins the other African intra-continental rift system of Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Sudan. It is about 1000 km long, 120–150 km wide, contains up to 6 km thick Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian to Maastrichtian) sedimentary rocks and trends in the NE–SW ...
a gravity study of the goulfey-tourba basin, southeastern chad lake, northern cameroon, is presented to establish its main shallow crustal structural features. regional and residual anomalies are interpreted in terms of the available geological information. spectral analysis and 2.5d modelling of ...
The model has a surface and surroundings with a density of about 2.5g/cm3 which corresponds to that of sedimentary basins. It also presents an intrusive body with density of about 2.77g/cm3 located at a depth of about 6.1km with its bottom located at about 33km giving an average vertical...
