Figure 6. Portion of the line S3 showing the structure of the southern part of the Eastern Alboran Basin (M = M-reflector). A strike-slip fault next to the Yusuf Ridge seems to have been active until recent times and some faults forming a negative flower structure seem to reactivate pre-M-reflector structures. Two main unconformities have formed within the Pliocene to Holocene sediments that were drilled at Site 977, related to strike-slip tectonism. s.p. = shotpoints. Location in
