Synrift (which literally means "at the same time as the rift") sediment would have been the first sediment deposited during the initial formation of the Mako Trough. Synrift sediment, because it would have been due to the initial erosion of the surrounding highs being deposited into the newly formed trough, is often of a coarser nature than later deposits - the sediment is deposited quickly and with less "banging around in a deep sea" to grind it to dust. 2, record 2, English, - syn%2Drift%20sediment

Les sédiments continentaux présents initialement avant la rupture continentale sont appelés «sédiments pré-rift». Les sédiments lacustres et évaporatiques (comme le sel) qui se sont déposés sur les blocs basculés au cours de l'océanisation sont appelés «sédiments syn-rift». Enfin, les sédiments terrigènes issus du continent ou construits comme les récifs sont consécutifs à l'océanisation et ne se déposent que lorsque la marge passive est stabilisée. Ces sédiments qui recouvrent l'ensemble des blocs sont appelés «sédiments post-rift». 6, record 2, French, - s%C3%A9diment%20syn%2Drift

Critical Dates. In any dispute a certain date, or several dates, will assume prominence in the process of evaluating the facts. The choice of such a date, or dates, is within the province of the tribunal seised of the dispute and will depend in some circumstances on the inevitable logic of the law applicable to the particular facts and, in other cases, on the practical necessity of confining the process of decision to relevant and cogent facts and thus to acts prior to the existence of a dispute.... There are several types of critical date, and it is difficult and probably misleading to formulate general definitions : the facts of the case are dominant(including, for this purpose, the terms of the special agreement empowering the tribunal to hear the case) and there is no necessity for a tribunal to choose any date whatsoever. In many cases there will be several dates of varying significance. 1, record 8, English, - critical%20date
