Tectonic and sedimentary history of the Argo Abyssal Plain, eastern Indian Ocean
Bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles totalling about 2800 km, and covering about 110 000 km2 of the Argo Abyssal plain, have been analysed. The early emplacement of... -
Pattern of slow seafloor spreading (<4 mm/year) from breakup (96 Ma) to A20...
Australia separated from Antarctica by continental extension between the mid-Jurassic (>160 Ma) and mid-Cretaceous (96 Ma), then by slow seafloor spreading (half-rate <... -
