Magnetic anomaly and fracture zone information is used to develop a self‐consistent
tectonic history of the Indian and South Atlantic oceans. Working backward in time we have …

This paper is a summary and progress report of a study of the northeastern Indian Ocean,
covering the areas of the Bengal and Nicobar Fans, the western Wharton Basin, the …

Section 1 contains maps that may be regarded as modifi cations and improvements of the
previously published map book (Smith & Briden, 1977). Section 2 contains previously …

This paper contains 50 maps which have been designed for use by the geologic community
in preparing paleogeographic, biogeographic, climatologic, and tectonic reconstructions of …

We propose a new model for the tectonic evolution of the eastern Indian Ocean from the
Late Cretaceous to the present. Two types of data are used to improve previously published …

A revised reconstruction of Gondwana is presented. It is based on previous reconstructions
that were geologically well constrained and utilizes marine magnetic anomalies and recent …

High concentrations of biologically precipitated barite characterize the deep‐sea sediments
underlying the equatorial high‐productivity belt of the Indian Ocean. By studying the barium …

The arguments justifying the revised timing of breakup between Australia and Antarctica
(Cande and Mutter, 1982) and the reconstruction of Broken Ridge and Kerguelen Plateau …

We have investigated the application of the F-ratio test, a standard statistical technique, to
the results of relative plate motion inversions. The method tests whether the improvement in …

From marine magnetic anomaly studies, a fossil spreading ridge is identified beneath the
Nicobar Fan in the northwestern Wharton Basin. Several north-south-trending transform …
