Wu Tingting, Li Sanzhong, Pang Jiehong, Wang Jian,Dai Liming. FMS Processing of IODP Expedition 324 and Its Application to Restoration of Structural Elements at Shatsky Rise, NW Pacific[J]. Advances in Earth Science, 2010, 25(7): 753-765.
Formation Microscanner Service (FMS) is an advanced logging technology. Because of its advantages of high resolution and intuition, FMS measurement has been used in the recovery of original dip direction of structural elements, and that of sedimentary beddings. The Shatsky Rise is a key study area during the IODP Expedition 324. After FMS processing for Holes U1347A, Hole U1348A and Hole U1349A, interpretations of geological structures and their dip directions are discussed in this paper. We conclude that the formation of the TAMU Massif is consistent with the seafloor spreading theory while the formation of the Ori Massif has no obvious preferred stress field, being deduced to be related to a mantle plume head.
