Abstract

Lithofacies and their relationships, textural content, sedimentary structures were used to delineate eight facies associations in the Benin west-1. Seven lithofacies are recognized; coarse grained sandstone with granules, laminated shaley sandstone, shaley siltstone, laminated shaley siltstone with fossil fragment, laminated shale, siltstone, coarse grained sandstone and micaceous sandstone facies. Each lithofacies is interpreted to represent different or similar depositional environments. Sediments of the Ameki Formation and Imo Shale encountered in the Benin west-1 were deposited in distributary channel and prodelta to marine shelf environments
