Abstract
The Baltimore Canyon Trough, which is in the Mid-Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Planning Area, has a thick sediment accumulation and a large number of structural and stratigraphic traps. It is underlain by a seaward-thickening wedge of postrift sediments separated by an unconformity from older, more areally restricted rift sediments of Triassic and Early Jurassic age. Uplift and erosion landward of a hinge zone and regional subsidence seaward resulted in formation of the Baltimore Canyon Trough, an elongated northeast trending depression filled with over 49,000 ft (15,000 m) of sediments.
