Stratigraphic architectures and associated unconformities of Pearl River Mouth basin during rifting and lithospheric breakup of the South China Sea

The lithosphere breakup processes from initial rifting of the crust to the complete rupture of the lithosphere underwent several tectonic evolution stages and resulted in the formation of a distinct stratigraphic architecture and associated unconformities. In this study, a dense grid of seismic profiles tied to industrial borehole data are used to investigate the stratigraphic architecture and unconformity interfaces in the Pearl River Mouth...
