Congo Deep-Sea Fan
The Congo Deep-Sea Fan accounts for a surface of about 300,000 km and at least 0.7 Mkm of Cenozoic sediments, becoming one of the largest submarine fan systems in the world. The fan extends over 1000 km from the Congo-Angola coast and was developed after the early Cretaceous rifting. The sediments includes quartz grains.
