Perhaps the most detailed study of a seamount has been made of Caryn Peak, a small peak located where the Hudson submarine canyon enters the Sohm abyssal plain. While no seismic data exist on the peak, there are stations in the deep areas around the peak. Core A-158 taken at a depth of 3970 m was on the flank of Caryn Seamount. Upper Cretaceous fossils, altered by replacements or recrystallization of the original CaCOa in a way considered due to vulcanism, were foimd in the core (Miller and Ewing, 1956). This makes it most probable that the vulcanism responsible for this feature must have ended toward the end of the Upper Cretaceous. Fig. 25 shows the computations for nine different mass distributions for the north-south and east-west crossings of this feature (Worzel and Talwani,.
