Click, in the list below, the first letter of the word you are interested to navigate to the appropriate section (e.g., if you want to know the meaning of the word NECTON, start by clicking on the letter N of the list). Then, if you find the word, click on it and you will get a definition that is illustrated either by a seismic line or by an tentative geological interpretation, a geological section, a sketch or a photograph. All underlined words (in blue) are navigation buttons for the definitions. A provisional translation of the words defined in English is proposed in several languages (French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Chinese, Russian and Italian)
