Evidence for a new age constraint of the oceanic lithosphere of the Bay of Bengal

Key Points

• A new age constraint for the oceanic lithosphere indicates a significant geological process at play in the Bay of Bengal.
• Submit 72 million years as the newly identified age of the oceanic lithosphere in this region.
• Analysis determined age constraints through geological sampling along tectonic structures and sediment cores.
• This work highlights the need for further investigations to fully understand the implications of tectonic activity in the area.
