| Popis: | [1] A grid of seismic reflection data from 15 Ma Cocos Plate offers an unprecedented view of the structure of mature oceanic crust formed at an ultrafast spreading (∼200 mm/yr, full rate) East Pacific Rise (EPR). The data contain an unexpected quantity of bright reflectors throughout the crust, generally |
