Bowers Ridge

The Bowers Ridge is located in the southern part of the Aleutian Basin.

It extends over 900 km (560 mi) in an arc, starting in the southeast at the Aleutian Arc and terminating to the northwest at the Shirshov Ridge.

On the Aleutian side, the ridge is rimmed by a trough filled with a sedimentary sequence 9–10 km thick.

[1] The average age of the Bowers Ridge is about 30 My (Late Oligocene).

Rock from the upper part of the Bowers Ridge was determined to be of Miocene age.
