## Ilimin Ƙasa

Basin na Kongo wani babban rami ne a cikin Congo Craton, wanda ya ƙunshi duwatsu na zamani (Phanerozoic, musamman daga Mesozoic zuwa yanzu) a cikin tsohon ɓangaren ƙasa mai shekaru Archean. Lalacewar Craton ta fara tun daga ƙarshen Cambrian ko farkon Ordovician, ta ci gaba a lokacin Paleozoic, inda aka samu gagarumin lalacewa da kuma unconformity. Sediment ya fara taruwa cikin sauri daga Mesozoic (Triassic) har zuwa yau.

A lokacin Jurassic, akwai tafkin ruwan ɗanɗano a cikin Basin, wanda ya ci gaba har zuwa farkon Cretaceous. Daga ƙarshen Cretaceous, haɗin gwiwa da Trans-Saharan seaway ya kawo shigar ruwan teku, wanda ya haɗa Tekun Atlantika da Tekun Tethys. Wannan ya samar da tarin fossils na pollen, ƙananan halittu, da kifaye. A lokacin Cretaceous, bututun kimberlite sun bayyana, wanda ake ganin ya samo asali daga raguwar saurin seafloor spreading na Mid-Atlantic Ridge, kuma su ne tushen lu’ulu’u na yankin.

A lokacin Cenozoic, tudu a gefen Cuvette Centrale ya katse haɗin teku. A Paleogene, ruwan sama mai yawa ya mai da Basin wurin tabkuna da fadamomi. A Neogene, yanayi ya koma bushewa da fari na lokaci-lokaci, amma daga baya ya dawo da yanayin ruwa mai yawa ta hanyar fluvial deposits.

Waɗannan su ne manyan tsarin sedimentary da aka samu a Basin:

* Carboniferous/Permian na ƙarshe - Lukuga Formation (Lower Karoo)
* Triassic na farko zuwa Jurassic na farko - Haute Lueki Formation (Upper Karoo)
* Jurassic na ƙarshe - Stanleyville Formation
* Cretaceous na farko - Loia Formation, Kamina Series
* Cretaceous na ƙarshe - Bokungu Formation, Kwango Series (Nsele Group, Inzia Group)
* Paleogene - Kwango Formation, Kalahari System, Sables Bateke Series
* Neogene - Limons Series, Kalahari System, Sables Bateke Series
