The passive continental margins of India and conjugate Antarctica (30 degrees-80 degrees E) have been reconstructed quantitatively by eliminating the intervening ocean floor. Recently acquired seismic and gravity data from the margins define the boundary between continental and oceanic crust (COB) a...
