Figure 1. Location of Sites 976 and 121 in the West Alboran Sea basin, with a schematic geologic map of the surrounding Betic Cordillera and Rif mountain chains. The metamorphic basement high around Site 976 is shown in shading (from Comas et al., 1993), similar to the outcropping Alpujárride Complex of the Alboran Domain, closely associated with bodies of exhumed mantle peridotite (shown in black). Bathymetric contour interval is 200 m. AI = Alboran Island.
