Vityaz megamullion

vein and disseminated sulfide and Fe oxides in exposed fault block; Ridge-transform intersection; Drolia and DeMets (2005) "active megamullion at the inner northeastern corner of the Vityaz transform fault .... The first described for the northern Central Indian ridge, the Vityaz megamullion is an inner corner, elongated domal high with well-expressed ridge-perpendicular corrugations", "The megamullion rises from the 4700-m-deep rift axis to a depth of 2300 m over a distance of only 9 km"; note: Rona et al. (2005) abstract suggests this may be considered southernmost Carlsberg Ridge, "Mn-oxide coatings on basalts in the axial valley with Fe/Mn ratios at the boundary between hydrogenous and hydrothermal composition with thickness at two stations (1.67S, 67.77E; 5.35S, 68.62E) suggestive of hydrothermal input; and a d3He anomaly (166 per mil) in the water column at one of our stations in April 1979 (5.35S, 68.62E)."; Note: VLIZ World EEZ Database ver. 11 includes Chagos Archipelago Exclusive Economic Zone, with sovereign Mauritius; note: this entry was classified to United Kingdom : British Indian Ocean Territory in versions of the database prior to Ver. 3.4;
