“…However, the oceanic lithosphere includes the lava, dike, and gabbro layers as well as part of the upper mantle (Bronner et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2016), and thus, the magnetic contributions of the dike, gabbro, and serpentinised peridotite layers to the marine magnetic anomaly cannot be ignored (Pouliquen & Sailhac, 2003;Toft & Arkani-Hamed, 1992).
