Abstract

Leg 159 drilled a series of four sites (Sites 959-962) within continental crust adjacent to the continent-ocean transition along the transform passive margin of Cote d'Ivoire-Ghana (CIG). This leg represents the first application of deep-sea drilling to the tectonics of transform margin development. The tectonic evolution from the Cretaceous to the Neogene is described. -from Authors
