Abstract
Seismic profiles across the southern Exmouth Plateau show a sedimentary wedge that has prograded northeastward from the direction of the adjacent transform fault of the Cape Range fracture zone. We postulate that, by analogy with the structure along the Gulf of Aqaba-Dead Sea system, this wedge was derived from the continental rim that formed just northeast of an active extensional transform fault marked by a deep cleft across which sediment was unlikely to be transferred from one plate to the other.
