This paper introduces a three-dimensional model of the Upper Cretaceous interval offshore Suriname, revealing systematic thickness variations from shelf to deepwater basin, reaching 6–6.5 km in the northwestern depocenter. The study highlights the influence of rift inheritance, sag-phase thermal subsidence, and sediment routing on accommodation distribution and burial history.
