| Zusammenfassung |
| The Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico) was
poorly covered on the first edition of the WDMAM because of its
absence from the Magnetic Anomaly Map of North America. However, most
of the area has been covered, at least at a reconnaissance level, and
we will present a compilation of this information for possible use in
the upcoming revised WDMAM.
The origin of the Bahama platform, to the north of the Greater
Antilles, has been the subject of debate for more than a century.
Questions include the nature of the basement, and its interaction with
the Greater Antilles. Using the newly compiled magnetic data, we will
offer a new synthesis. |
