Revisiting the Australian‐Antarctic Ocean‐Continent Transition Zone Using Petrological and Geophysical Characterization of Exhumed Subcontinental Mantle

Revisiting the Australian‐Antarctic Ocean‐Continent Transition Zone Using Petrological and Geophysical Characterization of Exhumed Subcontinental Mantle

Abstract The final lithospheric breakup of the Australian‐Antarctic rift system remains controversial due to sparse geological constraints on the nature of the basement along the ocean‐continent transition (OCT) zones. We present new interpretations of multichannel seismic reflection transects and n...
