Abstract

The works produced are arranged in alphabetic order for ease of reference. Harvard reference style has been adopted in this bibliography. This paper is a bibliography of the geologic research produced on the Benue trough of Nigeria within a fifteen-year period (2000-2015). Keywords: Bibliography; Geology; Benue trough; ; Basin

Introduction The Benue trough is an important geological basin References which underlies a major part of Nigeria, extending over 1000 1.

Stratigraphy, basin analysis and paleo-oceanography. Bulletin about 50-150 kilometres in width [3] and is broadly subdivided -Centres de Recherche Exploration-Production Elf-Aquitaine 14(2): into three sub-basins: lower, middle and upper regions [4]. 419-442. The upper region is also sub-divided into two arms: Gongola 2. Obaje NG, Pearson MJ, Suh CE, Dada SS (1999) Organic geochemical and Yola arms respectively [5]. The basin owes its origin characterization of potential hydrocarbon source rocks in the Upper through a process of rifting and sedimentation (during the Benue Trough.
