“…A very steep (up to 20°) and narrow (less than 40 km) transition zone between the continental and oceanic crusts. This sharp transition is clearly seen in the bathymetry and in Moho topography (Sage et al, 1997b;Edwards et al, 1997). This zone is lined up with an oceanic fracture zone, in this case the Romanche fracture zone.…”

“…Wallaby Plateau, but failed (which can be observed in reflection seismic sections 135-05, 135-06, 135-08 and 310-64); (2) oceanic crust near the Romanche margin was formed as much thinner than the surrounding normal oceanic crust (Edwards et al 1997), similar to the thin crust at oceanic transforms (see Canales et al 2000); (3) oceanic crust adjacent to an active continental -oceanic transform in the Southern New Zealand underwent distinctive deformation (Paul Mann 2013, pers. comm.…”

“…For example, individual structural elements of the Romanche margin include marginal ridge, platform areas, pull-apart regions, dominating transform segments and subordinate rift margin and oblique rift margin segments (Mascle & Blarez 1987;Mascle et al 1988;Basile et al 1993Basile et al , 1998Peirce et al 1996;Edwards et al 1997;Benkhelil et al 1998;Sage et al 2000;Antobreh et al 2009). The width of the entire fault pattern associated with the Romanche transform fault zone varies between 40 and 70 km depending on area Benkhelil et al 1998;Nemčok et al 2012b).…”

“…Figure 13a shows an enlargement of West African cross-section 11 (Fig. 8), together with a (shorter) crustal cross-section from further to the SW along the same margin segment, constructed by Edwards et al (1997) from wide-angle seismic data (Fig. 13b).…”
