We have along this segment a strong negative anomaly over the slope, followed by a strong positive anomaly over the rise. This is at variance with the general gravity signature of a positive gravity over the shelf followed by a seaward negative anomaly, usually called the shelf edge anomaly. This may be attributed to the features formed at the time of rifting. 4, record 1, English, - shelf%2Dedge%20anomaly
