Age and geochemistry of magmatism on the oceanic Wallaby Plateau and implications for the opening of the Indian Ocean

The temporal relationship between tectonic and volcanic activity on passive continental margins immediately before and after the initiation of mid-ocean ridge spreading is poorly understood because of the scarcity of volcanic samples on which to perform isotope geochronology.
