Upper Cretaceous potential source-rock intervals in (A) offshore Kwanza Basin, and (B) offshore Gulf of Mexico are obvious. The backstepping transgressive phase of the post-Pangaea continental encroachment stratigraphic cycle is limited at the top by a major downlap surface. This surface marks the time of maximum flooding of the margins when primary marine source rocks accumulated. This phase is followed by the progradational regressive phase. Each continental encrochment cycle comprises several subcycles, within which secondary marine source rocks are associated with minor downlap surfaces. The occurrence of source rocks is, mostly, unrelated to the salt tectonics.
