a Shaded bathymetric map of the Arabian Sea and surrounding regions, showing the location of IODP Site U1457, proposed continent-ocean boundaries (yellow dashed lines), the extent of known seaward dipping reflectors from Calvès et al4. Magnetic anomalies (thin grey numbered lines) and transform fault (dashed white lines). SDR seaward-dipping reflector, SR Somnath Ridge, SH Saurashtra High, GR Gop Rift, LR Laxmi Ridge, LB Laxmi Basin, RS Raman Seamount. b Seismic reflection profile across LR and LB showing presence of SDRs, position of ocean-continent boundary (OCB) and the Deccan Large Igneous Province (DLIP). c) Close-up of LR showing east-dipping SDRs in α and β.
