Figure F2. Seismic profiles of lines across IODP Holes U1362A and U1362B. Sediment structures and the sediment/basalt interface are clearly visible in both profiles, as are steeply dipping normal faults to the west of the holes. Both holes (indicated with vertical lines showing total depth penetration) are located over the peak of a buried basement high, near the western edge of a major distributary channel for turbidites that flowed off the North American continental shelf (Davis et al., 1992; Zühlsdorff et al., 2005; Underwood et al., 2005; Hutnak et al., 2006). A. Seismic Line GeoB00-482 across Hole U1362A. B. Seismic Line GeoB00-476 across Hole U1362B.
