| [1] During the Zoneco 11 marine geophysical survey (September 2004), two deep reflection seismic profiles recorded by ocean bottom seismometers were acquired in the offshore domain west of New Caledonia. The northern profile crosses the New Caledonia Basin, the Fairway Ridge, the Fairway Basin, and the Lord Howe Rise. The southern profile crosses the Norfolk Rise south of New Caledonia, the New Caledonia Basin, the Fairway Ridge and Basin, and ends at the foot of Lord Howe Rise. On the northern profile the Lord Howe Rise has a crustal thickness of 23 km and exhibits seismic velocities and velocity gradients characteristic of continental crust. The crust thins to 12-15 km in the neighboring Fairway Basin, which is interpreted to be of thinned continental... |

| The North Fiji Basin (NFB) is a shallow oceanic basin, with depths between 2000 and 4000 m, which lies between latitude 10 degree and 25 degree South and longitude 170 degree and 180 degree East. Situated at the boundary of the Indo-Australian and Pacific plates, the NFB stands between two subduction zones of reverse polarity: the New-Hebrides subduction on its western side and the Tonga. The aim of the Seapso 3 cruise of N.O. Jean Charcot (December 1985), was to delineate the recent spreading location in the North Fiji Basin, and to observe possible associated hydrothermal manifestations. For that we first have performed a large scale bathymetric and geophysical survey and then a detailed survey (complete coverage Seabeam) on two boxes. Finally, rocks... |

| New, high-quality multichannel seismic reflection data from the western New Caledonia offshore domain allow for the first time the direct, continuous connection of seismic reflectors between the Deep Sea Drilling Project 208 drill hole on the Lord Howe Rise and the New Caledonia Basin. A novel seismic interpretation is hence proposed for the northern New Caledonia Basin stratigraphy, which places the Eocene/Oligocene unconformity deeper than previously thought and revisits the actual thickness of the pre-Oligocene sequences. A causal link is proposed between the obduction of the South Loyalty Basin over New Caledonia (NC) and the tectonic history of the northern New Caledonia Basin. Here it is suggested that as the South Loyalty Basin was being obducted... |
