Using 3D seismic data, we document the subsurface architecture of a cluster of 3 mud volcanoes located on the upper continental slope offshore Nigeria. In a background of gently dipping stratified sediments, the subsurface of the cluster contains 8 seismic sequences made of one subcircular syncline, 1–3 km in diameter, and adjoining unstratified units. Synclines flatten out upward through intercalation of unstratified concave-up lenses between stratified units and are eventually filled by a...
