Earth Science Research, 2018 Gravimetric studies using the ETOPO1-corrected high resolution satellite-based EGM2008 gravity data was used to define the surface extent, depth to basement and shape of the Mamfe basin. The Bouguer anomaly map was produced in Surfer 11.0. The Fast Fourier Transformed data was analyzed by spectral analysis to remove the effect of the regional bodies in

Genesis of Clastic Dykes and Soft-Sediment Deformation Structures in the Mamfe Basin, South-West Region, Cameroon: Field Geology Approach [PDF]
Journal of Geological Research, 2018 This paper aims to investigate the genesis of clastic dykes and soft-sediment deformation structures in the Mamfe Basin, South West-Region, Cameroon. Results from this study portray the following: (1) The clastic dykes are extrusive and were generated from preexisting soft-sediments that penetrate fissures caused by seismic activity.

Earth Science Research, 2016 The potential for conventional and/or unconventional hydrocarbon exploration requires the presence of organic-rich, thermally mature rock units containing oil or gas-prone kerogen. Thick black, organic rich shale intervals are well exposed along roadside cuts and river banks at several localities in the eastern part of the Mamfe Basin.

Journal of Geography and Geology, 2017 Repeated palynological analyses of samples collected from lacustrine black organic rich shales and carbonate rocks which are abound in the Mamfe Basin have consistently yielded extremely low count of palynomorphs. Geochemical analysis of the same rocks revealed very high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content of up to 16.10wt%, whereas similar rocks ...

Journal of Geoscience and Environment Protection, 2019 Groundwater studies in parts of the Mamfe basin are sparse and the Mamfe area has the highest population density in the Mamfe basin. An in-depth study of groundwater rock interaction and groundwater quality is of vital importance. This same part of the basin is the economic centre and as such development of businesses in this area requires knowledge of

Tectono-Stratigraphic Evolution of the Mamfe Basin, Southwest Cameroon
Cette thèse propose une approche pluri analytique dans le but d’accéder aux informations et données indispensables à la connaissance des bassins sédimentaires camerounais et du système des Rifts Central et Ouest Africain auquel appartient le bassin sédimentaire de Mamfé, objet de cette recherche.

International Journal of Geosciences, 2015 The sedimentary sequences in the Mamfe Basin are generally thought of as continental (fluvio-lacustrine) in origin. But the wide spread occurrence of salt springs and salt accumulations and in places gypsum, often puts to question the exclusive continentality throughout this basin’s history.

Journal of Geology & Geophysics, 2017 Geologic prospecting, petrographic and geochemical analyses of mafic volcanic exposures in the west and southern part of the Mamfe Basin (SW Cameroon) distinguishes: basanites, picro-basalts, alkali basalts and tholeiitic basalts. They are relatively LREE-enriched, undersaturated, saturated or oversaturated due to presence or absence of normative ...

Journal of Geology & Geophysics, 2017 Zircon crystals from two basement rocks (granitic pegmatite and mica-schist) in the Mamfe Basin were studied to provide petrogenetic and geochronologic constraints, therefore were characterized and dated by LA-Q-ICP-MS analytical techniques, after their internal textural features were determined.
