Nauru Basin is an area in the Pacific Ocean of the Marshall Islands, around the Nauru area, hence its name. It is composed of many different islands and seamounts . Wōdejebato is one …

Nauru is positioned in the Nauru Basin of the Pacific Ocean, on a part of the Pacific Plate that formed at a mid oceanic ridge at 132 Ma. [2] . From mid Eocene (35 Ma) to Oligocene times a …

Because interpretations of this Cretaceous volcanic complex are strongly biased by beliefs about the nature and age of the underlying oceanic crust, we believe it important to review here the …

Nauru Basin is a kind of anomalously shallow ocean floor, in view either of the acoustic nature (Talwani et al., 1977) and the thick pile of the sill-pillow complex interbedded with sediment …

Apr 1, 1991 · The proto-Nauru Basin was most probably near, or drifted near the anomalous south central Pacific region in the Early Cretaceous, perhaps between the two hotspots that …

Oct 8, 2005 · The Mesozoic Nauru Basin in the western Pacific was created by seafloor spreading in Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous time and was subsequently affected by Early …

Sep 30, 2009 · Here, we examine the magnetic fidelity of the Nauru Basin basalts through rock magnetic and paleomagnetic approaches. We find the magnetic carriers in the lavas are unlike …

Jan 1, 2004 · Nauru is located at the southern end of the Nauru Basin, an ocean basin, 4–5 km deep, that extends from the Marshall and Gilbert Islands in the northeast to the Ontong Java …

Basin basalts are all normally magnetized, indicating that they were largely emplaced during the Cretaceous long normal event which lasted from 109 to 80 Myr BP.

We recognize three major chemical types of basalts in the Nauru Basin. We believe that different degrees of partial melting, modified by fractional crystallization and possibly by magma mixing …
