| dc.description.abstract | Marine magnetic anomaly data from the Laxmi Basin for the first time reveal the presence of fairly correlatable NNW-trending magnetic lineations. These magnetic lineations are symmetric about a central negative magnetic anomaly and the axis of symmetry coincides with a characteristic short-wavelength free-air gravity low. The anomalies are interpreted as representing a two-limbed seafloor spreading sequence which can be equated to the A28-A33 interval of the geomagnetic polarity reversal timescale. These results suggest that the Laxmi Basin is underlain by an oceanic crust. Evidence of seafloor spreading in this basin possibly implies a pre-A27 spreading episode in the evolutionary history of the Arabian Sea. © 1994. | |
