Figure 4.7 Isochron maps <strong>of</strong> the oldest units <strong>of</strong> the Tobago Forearc Basin (TFB) fill. A. Pre-Eocene which is confined to a narrow<br />

geographic area has a depocenter to the northeastern portion <strong>of</strong> the TFB. B. Eocene to Lower Oligocene fill is a thinner unit than the<br />

previous, older sediments. <strong>The</strong> depocenter has shifted to the south and is now more centrally loc<strong>at</strong>ed. C. Lower Oligocene to Lower<br />

Miocene fill with a depocenter loc<strong>at</strong>ed just west <strong>of</strong> the present day Inner Forearc Deform<strong>at</strong>ion Front. Note th<strong>at</strong> this unit covers a<br />

broader geographic area than the previous units and sediment accumul<strong>at</strong>ed in the central part <strong>of</strong> the basin loc<strong>at</strong>ed within an ever<br />

broader region to the east <strong>of</strong> the depocenter. Seismic lines used to produce these isochron maps are shown inside the green box in<br />
