Color version of Figure 5a. Seismic Line 10 at high vertical exaggeration (about
25 times at the seafloor), located in Figure 2. This color amplitude display is
shown in B&W, interpreted, in the published article. Dotted area is shown with only
about 3.4 times vertical exaggeration at seafloor, at the bottom. The regional pattern
is of mid and late Cenozoic strata downlapping to the north against a regional
unconformity.

Color uninterpreted version Figure 5b: located in Fig. 3a.
The free-air gravity profile shows that the imaged basins are filled with
low density material.

Color Figure 4: Migrated color version of Figure 5c. This figure is shown in depth with
two times vertical exaggeration. Interpreted version is in published article.
Note undeformed upper section and faulted reflections below unconformities.

Figure 5d with color interpretation (Line77) and color amplitude (Line 78).
The color amplitude display of Line 77 was not very good. Free-air gravity highs
over the bathymetric low of Colbeck Trough show that this northern part of
the trough does not follow a sub-unconformity sedimentary basin. Indeed, on Line
77 the outer Colbeck trough erodes undeformed late Oligocene and younger strata and
cannot be controlled here by deeper structure.

Figure 5e with color interpretation. Vertical exaggeration is 3.4 at the seafloor
on the .pdf version on this non-migrated low fold (3 and 4) profile. The free
air gravity was modeled to show a 500+ m deep basin associated with the synform
near S.P. 700.

gravity anomaly (c), and modeled depth-to-basement (d). These are the color versions
of Figures 7a through 7b.
