Field Activity 1977-031-FA

Identifier 1977-031-FA
Alternate names S177MC, Teledyne Party No. 705; Teledyne 77
Purpose To assess resource potential of offshore Atlantic sedimentary basins by common depth point (CDP) profiling in 4 regional grids over the Long Island Platform, Baltimore Canyon Trough, Carolina Platform, and Continental Shelf and Margin southeast of Cape Hatteras. Data collected and processed under contract by Teledyne Exploration Company.
Location Long Island Platform, Mid-Atlantic Bight, Baltimore Canyon Trough, South Atlantic continental shelf and margin, Carolina Platform, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary 10 CDP multichannel seismic lines: #14-15 Baltimore Canyon Trough; #16, Long Island Platform; #17, Carolina Platform; and #TD1-TD6, Continental shelf margin south of Cape Hatteras.
Info derived Morphology;
