| Abstract: | This paper describes a series of two ship refraction experiments carried out in the Bay of Biscay in May 1970 to determine the crustal structure to the southeast of Gascony sea mount. The results show that the seismic structure is similar to that found on Line B further to the northwest, but that the mantle is deeper. The structure is oceanic showing that it is unlikely that this area of the Bay of Biscay has been formed by downfaulting of continental crust. |
