Abstract
A geophysical survey of the northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Slope and Rise around Bryant Canyon in the spring of 1999, collecting deep-tow data, which consisted of a 3.5 kHz subbottom profiler and a 100 kHz side-scan-sonar, surveyed a series of longitudinal mega-bed-forms in ~3000 m of water along strike and at the base of the Sigsbee Escarpment.
