Structural styles of Albian rafts in the Espírito Santo Basin (SE Brazil): Evidence for late raft compartmentalisation on a ‘passive’ continental margin
Rafts in SE Brazil were reactivated at the end of the Cretaceous and early Cenozoic. Slope oversteepening and halokinesis controlled rafts' internal deformation. Late halokinesis improves connectivity with pre-salt strata by forming salt welds. Salt welds and reactivated faults contribute to fluid migration from pre-salt to post-salt strata.
