N2 - The modern geomorphology of Lake Tanganyika is characterized by two main bathymetric basins, North and South, subdivided in a mosaic of seven strongly asymmetric sub-basins, which are all normally half-grabens. Sedimentation associated with border fault margins includes piedmont deposits, colluvial rockfalls, fan deltas and downslope bars, and locally, at N-S/NW-SE crossing faults, hydrothermal sediments and mineralization. Sedimentation related to axial-deep basins is mainly of autochthonous origin. Wide "sheet drape' sequences are formed by homogeneous or laminated organic-rich muds. -Authors
