V. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 



This detailed survey south of the Hawaiian Islands has 

 revealed extensive lineated magnetic anomalies. One of these 

 anomalies strikes approximately North 75° East and extends 

 for more than 270 miles across the entire survey area. North 

 of this anomaly, the magnetic lineations are parallel to it. 

 South of this line however, the lineated features strike at 

 angles of approximately 35°-45° to the major lineation. All 

 of the large seamounts in the survey area occur south of this 

 magnetic anomaly. Therefore, this anomaly may lie along a 

 major fault zone separating areas of different geologic 

 character. Estimates of the depth to the magnetic source of 

 this anomaly indicate the source becomes deeper to the north- 

 east.
