Figure F1. Predicted bathymetry (after Smith and Sandwell, 1997) of the Ontong Java Plateau and surrounding areas showing the location of DSDP and ODP basement drill sites. Red circles = Leg 192 drill sites, white circles = pre-Leg 192 drill sites. Site 802, in the East Mariana Basin, is outside the map area at 12°5.8´N, 153°12.6´E. The edge of the plateau is defined by the –4000 m contour except in the southeastern part, where it has been uplifted through collision with the Solomon arc.
