To understand the evolution of the Miocene gravity flow deposits in the Lower Cong—Congo Fan Basin, this paper documents the Miocene sequence stratigraphic framework, the depositional characteristics and the controlling factors of the gravity flow system. Based on the establishment of high-resolutio...
