| Summary: | The new model proposes a much wider zone of thin crust underlying the southern Porcupine Seabight than in previous models. Also proposed is a southerly continuation of the basement ridge which makes up the Porcupine Bank across the mouth of the Porcupine Seabight. This shows that it is unlikely that a 'tongue' of oceanic crust extends from the North Atlantic into the southern Porcupine Seabight, as has been previously proposed. [R.E.] |
