Ghost-arc geochemical anomaly at a spreading ridge caused by supersized flat subduction

Abstract The Southern Atlantic-Southwest Indian ridges (SASWIR) host mid-ocean ridge basalts with a residual subduction-related geochemical fingerprint (i.e., a ghost-arc signature) of unclear origin. Here, we show through an analysis of plate kinematic reconstructions and seismic tomography models...
