Ocean Margin Drilling Program: Lesser Antilles and Adjacent Ocean Terranes: Atlas 10

Woods Hole, MA.: Marine Science International, 1984. Comprehensive atlas focuses on the Lesser Antilles arc system and its tectonic relationships with the oceanic Atlantic lithosphere to the east and the continental lithosphere of South America to the south. The arc forms the leading edge of the Caribbean plate and is subducted by the relatively west-moving Atlantic slab. This is the only convergent boundary of the Atlantic lithosphere north od 50 degrees S. Topics covered include bathymetry; Bouguer gravity anomalies; magnetic lineations and fracture zones; magnetic total intensity anomalies; seismic refraction velocity structure; seismic reflection ship tracks; depth to acoustic basement; sedimentary thicknesses; seismicity 1950-1978; seismic epicenters from local networks 1977-1981; heat flow; geology of land areas; structural features; tectonic provinces; submarine lithologic sampling sites; lithology in drill holes and dredge hauls; geologic synthesis and interpretations; etc. 28 pgs.
