Abstract:
Continental rocks dredged in 2011 show that the Batavia Knoll and Gulden Draak Knoll, two prominent bathymetric features located ~1600 km offshore Perth, are micro-continents. Plate tectonic modeling reconstructs the pre-rift position of these knolls to the north and south of the Naturaliste Plateau, respectively.
