Burial Metamorphism (Thermal Maturation) in Cretaceous Sediments of the Southern Benue Trough and Anambra Basin, Nigeria
Samuel O. Akande2 and Bernd D. Erdt
AAPG Bulletin
Volume 82 (1998) (1998)
Organic matter reflectance, illite crystallinity, and fluid-inclusion
techniques have been used to evaluate burial metamorphic conditions for
the lithostratigraphic successions that accumulated during the Cretaceous
in the southern Benue trough and Anambra basin of southern Nigeria. These
successions were invaded by intrusives, volcanic rocks, and vein-type lead-zinc
minerals, especially in the Albian-Cenomanian section of the Abakaliki
anticline. The sequence includes lower Maastrichtian subbituminous coals
in the Anambra basin.
