Widdowson, M., Sager, W., Hoernle, K., Höfig, T. W., Avery, A. J., Bhutani, R., …Tshiningayamwe, M. (2022). Expedition 391 Preliminary Report : Walvis Ridge Hotspot: drilling Walvis Ridge, Southeast Atlantic Ocean, to test models of ridge hotspot interaction, isotopic zonation, and the hotspot reference frame. International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP)

Hotspot tracks (quasilinear chains of seamounts, ridges, and other volcanic structures) provide important records of plate motions, as well as mantle geodynamics, magma flux, and mantle source compositions. The Tristan-Gough-Walvis Ridge (TGW) hotspo...

The first Cretaceous mammals described from India were recovered from the Naskal locality, on the southeastern edge of the Deccan Traps Volcanic Province (DTVP), where it is preserved between two basalt flows. Because the DTVP eruptions spanned the C... Read More about New mammals from the Naskal intertrappean site and the age of India's earliest eutherians.
