Crustal Structure, Deformational History, and Tectonic Origin of the Bahamas Carbonate Platform

Kenneth Shipper,
Paul Mann

Abstract: The 2–10‐km‐thick, mainly carbonate cap of the 14,000 km2 Bahamas carbonate platform (BCP) has impeded imaging of its underlying crustal structure. The deeper structure of the BCP records both its Mesozoic rift and hotspot history and its later deformation related to its Paleogene collision with the Great Arc of the Caribbean (GAC). We use regional gravity data to model the crustal structure, type, and deformational processes of the BCP by: (a) integrating publicly available seismic data; (b) inverting the Moh… Show more
