Summary The reconstruction of the depositional history of the Paleogene succession from wells drilled in Area 4, offshore Mozambique, was carried out by interpreting paleoecological signals from integrated paleontological and non-paleontological datasets. A high-resolution integrated biostratigraphic framework was realized. Empirical indices based on palynomorphs, foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils were derived from this study and integrated with the lithological log curves and the mineralogical dataset. Inferences were made in terms of paleo-temperature, bathymetry, distance from the coastline, intensity of surface runoff and fluvial discharge into the sea. Connections among global climatic trends, tectonic uplift of the hinterland, eustatic cycles, sediment accumulation and turbidite deposition in deep marine settings have been extensively investigated.
