Figure F2. Reflection seismic Line GeoB00-466 near IODP Holes U1301A and U1301B (separated by 36 m). Sediment structures and the sediment/basalt interface are clearly visible, as are steeply dipping normal faults to the west of the holes (indicated with vertical lines that show total depth penetration). Both holes 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).
