Abstract. Some of the best outcrops of the Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments of the south-eastern sector of the Iullemeden basin (Fig.1) occur in the "Sokoto Embayment" around the Rima Valley of North-Western Nigeria.
Cretaceous deposits of the Iullemmeden Basin 149 supported by petrological studies of the middle part of the sequence (beds 4-9, Figure 7), representing a red-bed, nonmarine, fluviatile sequence. Greigert (1966) noted that the vertebrate-bearing strata of Ibeceten are com- parable with those in the Damergou.
This list of fossil sites is a worldwide list of localities known well for the presence of fossils. Some entries in this list are notable for a single, unique find, while others are notable for the large number of fossils found there.
Threats to Clean Water in the Delaware River Basin Fossil Fuels and Mining The Delaware River basin is an important source of clean water for drinking, wildlife and recreation.
The Benue Basin can not represent the interest of the core north, just like the Niger Basin will not. We all know that states like Benue and some other middle belt states are different to a large extent from the core northern states in terms of culture and ideology.
The Iullemeden Basin, also known as the Sokoto Basin spans Mali, western Niger, northwest Nigeria and northern Benin and began accumulating sediments in the Jurassic, followed by the Maastrichtian Rima Group, which records a brackish environment.
The study area lies within the Anambra Basin, in south-eastern Nigeria (Figure 2). The Anambra Basin was initiated as a result of the uplift of the Abakaliki anticlinorium during the Santonian. This uplift led to the westward shift of the depocenter and subsidence of the Anambra Basin and the Afikpo sub-basin during the Campanian.
Oil shale is a rock that contains significant amounts of organic material in the form of kerogen. Up to 1/3 of the rock can be solid organic material. Liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons can be extracted from the oil shale, but the rock must be heated and/or treated with solvents.

Fossil fishes were first collected from deposits of the Sangkarewang Formation of the Ombilin Basin in Sumatra, Indonesia, in the 1870s, but a comprehensive study of these fishes was not published until almost 50 years later.
Miocene deposits in the eastern portion of the Greater Ughelli, Central Swamp and Coastal Swamp depobelts contain well-developed brackish-water trace fossil assemblages.

The study area is part of the western flank of Anambra basin, a roughly triangular subbasin in the Southern Benue Trough of Nigeria. The Benue Trough is a Cretaceous-Tertiary rift basin in Nigeria and is a part of the West Africa Rift System (WARS).
The dispersal patterns of the Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary sediments in southern Anambra Basin were studied to delineate spatial facies distributions for improved mapping and hydrocarbon prospectivity. Seven lithofacies distinguished from eleven outcrop sections aided the interpretation of depositional environments for the different depositional units.
