In summary, this study provides us with a detailed image of the lower crust beneath an extensional basin located within a large-scale continental rift zone. Assuming that the original crustal thickness beneath the Ross S

Several miscellaneous experiments were carried out. A transmit/receive switch was developed, but it provided only about 12 decibels of isolation and was abandoned. A 10-meter core was recovered and will be used for labor

The longest core was 125 centimeters and the shortest was 16 centimeters. Most of the cores were taken with the heavier Ocean Seismic corer, and this device provided cores with a diameter of 8 centimeters. The Benthos co
