A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Stratigraphy of Nigeria

The stratigraphy of Nigeria is dominated by the Niger Delta Basin and the Western High Plateau, with a sequence that ranges from Precambrian basement rocks to Quaternary alluvium. Mastering the key lithostratigraphic units, their ages, and the structural features (basin, high, unconformities) is essential for interpreting petroleum potential and sedimentary processes in the country.
