New insights into the Cenozoic depositional architecture based on the seismic stratigraphy of the northern Argentine continental slope, off Bahia Blanca, allow us to reconstruct its sedimentary evolution. Five major seismic boundaries, B1 to B5 (from oldest to youngest) represent the main discontinu...
