THE AGE OF THE OCEAN FLOOR.
Abstract
An analysis of the divergent flow at convective upwellings along oceanic ridges shows that sediments of any age may occur at any distance from the axis of the ridge. The Lower Miocene microfossils recently reported by Saito, Ewing, and Burckle near the axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, therefore, do not indicate any slowing down or cessation of crustal flow or of continental drifting.
