Evidence for fluid migration following pockmark formation: Examples from the Nile Deep Sea Fan

► 142 Palaeocene pockmarks and 1728 Holocene pockmarks are interpreted from the NDSF. ► Seabed pockmarks cluster in the residual topography of larger buried pockmarks. ► Buried pockmarks are interpreted to have formed between 60-80,000 yrs BP. ► Buried pockmark conduits permit post pockmark formation and burial, fluid migration. ► Buried pockmark conduits can remain viable after lengthy periods of dormancy.
