Seismic characteristics of late Paleogene sedimentary drifts. (a) A seismic line shows a central mound between markers ME and TE with internal upslope prograding configuration. High amplitude reflections (HARS) occur towards the top of the mound. A moderate to strong positive amplitude reflection is identified as the opal-A to opal-CT reaction front (yellow dotted horizon). We correlated seismic horizons in the drift to Pukaki-1 (Fig. 5a). (b) Subsidiary mound developed offshore of the central mound (Location marked by a box in Fig. 3a). It shows internal convex reflection pattern and a landward moat. High amplitude reflections are seen above the marker that is assigned an age of 36 Ma.
