Abandoned Paleocene spreading center in the northeastern Indian Ocean: evidence from magnetic and seismic reflection data

Magnetic data from the northeastern Indian Ocean reveal east-west trending magnetic lineations 28 through 34, an abandoned spreading center (ASC) and part of the Cretaceous Magnetic Quiet Zone (CMQZ), which are used to reconstruct past tectonic processes involved in the evolution of the ocean. Offse...
