Figure AF9. Multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection profile (Line Tasyo L-8) of the western area of the central sector of the middle slope showing the location of proposed Site GC-02A (TASYO Project). Four major low-resolution depositional sequences have been recognized in the Pliocene and Quaternary sedimentary record (Llave et al., 2001; Hernández-Molina et al., 2002, 2006) and are separated by four relevant discontinuities: QBD (base of the Quaternary?) and MPR (mid-Pleistocene?). LPR erosive discontinuity could represent the onset of drift formation. TWT = two-way traveltime.
