Paleocene on-spreading-axis hotspot volcanism along the Ninetyeast Ridge: an interaction between the Kerguelen hotspot and the Wharton spreading center
Investigations of three plausible tectonic settings of the Kerguelen hotspot relative to the Wharton spreading center evoke the on-spreading-axis hotspot volcanism of Paleocene (60-54 Ma) age along the Ninetyeast Ridge. The hypothesis is consistent with magnetic lineations and abandoned spreading ce...
