AB In a recent note (Mauffret et al, in press) we described the extension of the acoustic basement south of the Balearic mainland. One series of arguments (position, morphology, and magnetism) led us to advance the hypothesis that the acoustic basement represents a prolongation of the Balearic continental basement towards the south at least as far as 38' 30'N latitude. The prolongation appears to be marked by a large topographic rise between the 1000 and 2600 meter isobaths. Figure 1 (Mauffret et al, in press) schematically shows the continuation toward the south of this supposed Balearic continent. DSDP Leg 13 Drill Site 124 was located near 5°E longitude and 39°N latitude at the inferred southeast extremity of the sunken "Balearic continent". With reference to seismic reflection profiles (Flexotir) taken during the survey Polymede I, we discuss here the morphology of the basement in this zone and describe the sedimentary cover.
