Abstract

Two recent bathymetric and magnetic surveys in the Gulf of Tadjura are discussed. The westward continuation into the Gulf of the axial trough and linear magnetic anomalies of the Sheba Ridge (which represents the continuation of the Carlsberg Ridge into the Gulf of Aden) is demonstrated. The axial trough and magnetic anomalies are offset north of Djibouti by a fault. It seems most likely that west of the fault the axial zone continues westwards toward Lake Abbé and not northwest into eastern Afar.
