These tentative interpretations of two perpendicular manual autotraces of two seismic lines crossing the Charcot fracture zone illustrates the geometry of the thrust faults with their lateral ramps. On the NE-SE manual autotrace, it is obvious that from the shelf to the lower slope, the structural styles change from an extensional dominated style to a diapiric shale province and finally to the imbricated and toe thrust of the lower slope, which shows the relationship between shale structures, extension, and contraction in slope Nigeria offshore.
