Crustal Structure of the NW Moroccan Atlantic Margin from Seismic Data

D012 Crustal structure of the NW Moroccan Atlantic Margin from seismic data Summary: 1 The crustal structure of the Atlantic Moroccan margin has been studied by means of refraction and reflection seismic. We image the crustal transition from continent to ocean. A large detachment fault is observed locally. If confirmed this may explain that mantle was first exhumed and later left on the Canadian side at time of breakup. It may also explains that rifting structures such as grabens filled with syn-rift sediments and salt are conserved even on the deep margin. Introduction A seismic reflection and refraction survey of
