Comment on a paper by Sibuet et al. (2016) entitled �Thinned continental crust intruded by volcanics beneath the northern Bay of Bengal�
Abstract
This comment applauds the survey carried out by Sibuet et al. (2016) but authors believe that their principal conclusion is in error. The Northern Bay of Bengal crust is the typical oceanic crust associated with volcanic passive margins. It is not continental crust. Authors believe that the crust underlying the Eastern Bay of Bengal and Bangladesh was generated at the Rajmahal-Sylhet line after the spreading axis jumped there from the Enderby Basin in Early Cretaceous
