| ubsidence curves for 27 wells from the western continental margin of India show the effects of a driving subsidence mechanism in addition to the well-known thermal decay. From the late Paleocene to late Oligocene, these curves indicate subsidence consistent with effects of cooling. However, from the late Oligocene-early Miocene (approximately 24 Ma) onward, the curves show marked, long-lived increases in subsidence rates. Although the magnitudes of these increases beginning at... |
