dc.description.abstractThe South Mara Member in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin offshore Newfoundland, Canada forms significant sand deposits within the post-rift Early Eocene basin. This thesis present through examination of seismic and well data the Cenomanian to Eocene stratigraphy and depositional environments with a detailed examination of transport conduits and depositional architecture of the South Mara Member. South Mara submarine fan deposits are found in the northern basin and deltaic deposits are found in the southern basin. This study proposes north-eastward prograding deltas and mounded pro-delta turbidites were transported through the Cormorant Canyon system onto the peneplain surface on the uplifted Morgiana Anticlinorium. The Cormorant canyons cut into top seals of Lower Cretaceous reservoir units and pose a risk to hydrocarbon exploration of older strata; however, they create hydrocarbon migration pathways between Lower Cretaceous to Eocene reservoir zones.en_US
