Evidence from Hole 504B for the origin of dipping events in oceanic crustal reflection profiles as out-of-plane scattering from basement topography

Dipping reflectors in oceanic crustal seismic reflection profiles have been attributed to either faults cutting through the crustal section or magmatic layering in the mid- to lower crust. Using closely spaced (
