A cross section of Tamu Massif, which scientists discovered recently in the Pacific Ocean. The top graphic shows MCS reflection Line AB, across the axis of Tamu Massif (top graphic , MCS data; bottom, interpretation). Dark lines highlight the intra-basement reflectors. MCS data have a nominal fold of 59 and have been processed with band-pass filtering, deconvolution, normalmoveout correction, stacking and time migration. The arrow labeled U1347 shows the position of that IODP site. Dashed boxes show the locations of figure 5 and supplementary figure S4. Vertical exaggeration: 37:1.
