Abstract
Abstract The Mexican Ridges fold-belt (MR) of the western Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is a 600 km long, 120–220 km wide, deep-water, passive margin, fold-belt trending parallel to the eastern continental margin of Mexico. Shortening within the deep-water MR occurs above a primary sub-horizontal, shale detachment linked to an up-dip, 50 km wide zone of listric, normal faults along the continental shelf of eastern Mexico. A 20,000 line-km grid of 2D depth-converted industry seismic data tied to one, deep well was used to map the frequency, location, lateral extent, and thickness distributions of twelve, individual, mass transport deposits (MTDs) of Paleogene age that together form a
