The Amirante Ridge and Trench System in the Indian Ocean: the southern termination of the NW Indian subduction

The Amirante Ridge and Trench System in the Indian Ocean: the southern termination of the NW Indian subduction

The Amirante Ridge and Trench System forms a 600-km-long arcuate structure in the Mascarene Basin (Indian Ocean), whose origin remains enigmatic. Here, I provide a paleogeographic reconstruction of the NW India margin for the Late Cretaceous–Paleocene interval, compiling information from ophiolites...
