“…The latter, located between the OFZ and the Arabian continental margin (Oman margin), is mainly floored with oceanic crust as indicated by seismic reflection and refraction data (Whitmarsh, 1979;Stein and Cochran, 1985;Barton et al, 1990). Its age remains poorly constrained however because it lacks clearly identified sequences of lineated magnetic anomalies.…”

“…Examples in the literature include cases from Liberia (Delteil et al 1974), Newfoundland (Grant 1977), Oman (Barton et al 1990), and South Africa (Scrutton 1976). Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain their development, either by tectonic mechanisms or by thermal and/or magmatic controls.…”

The Côte d’Ivoire–Ghana transform margin: sedimentary and tectonic structure from multichannel seismic data

et al. 1997

We present multi channel seismic data recorded at the transition between the Ivorian (rifted) basin and the Coˆte d'Ivoire-Ghana marginal ridge (formed in a Cretaceous transform margin). The ridge is made of sedimentary sequences continuous with the synrift sediments of the Ivorian basin. Clinoformal structures suggest synrift progradational sedimentation originating from the Brazilian craton, which was located to the south during the Cretaceous. Subsequent to rifting, southward migration of the transform motion isolated the ridge from the Brazilian shelf. In the western part of the marginal ridge, crustal half-grabens are buried by postrifting progradational sedimentation, suggesting important posttransform subsidence.

The breaking of the Arabian Plate from the African Plate probably resulted in an increase in subduction rate.…”
