A set of newly collected 2D seismic reflection data allows the mapping of two distinct cross-cutting reflectors across the Falkland/Malvinas Plateau. Reflector XR-F/MB in the Falkland/Malvinas Basin appears as a bottom simulating reflector that mimics the geometry of the present seafloor, whereas re...
