Seismic analysis and models from a rifted submarine plateau of continental origin: Great South Basin and Bounty Trough (New Zealand)
The Campbell Plateau and Chatham Rise are large submarine plateaux of continental origin forming parts of the submarine New Zealand continent. Prior to the break-up of this part of Gondwana, New Zealand was situated at the proto-Pacific plate boundary of Gondwana, connected to Marie Byrd Land. It is...

The Campbell Plateau and Chatham Rise are large submarine plateaux of continental origin forming parts of the submarine New Zealand continent. Prior to the break-up of this part of Gondwana, New Zealand was situated at the proto-Pacific plate boundary of Gondwana, connected to Marie Byrd Land. It is expected that the development of the continental fragments forming Campbell Plateau and Chatham Rise played a key role in the development of Gondwanas plate boundary from a convergent margin to continental rifting. Our new crustal models of Bounty Trough and Great South Basin infer thinned crust beneath both basins. The crust beneath the Bounty Trough is extremely thinned up to nascent seafloor spreading.
