Again, the wells exist but am joking about the rest.

Thanks, Chris. Got the paper. I also found a few others online. One I like in particular because it has a detailed cross-section of the knoll itself:

Recent Deformation Along the Offshore Malibu Coast, Dume, and Related Faults West of Point Dume ,Southern California - Fisher, Langenheim, Sorlien, et al

Unfortunately the copy I found is a scan of a paper document so the diagrams don't come across that well.

A question for you Chris, the "MCS section WG85-394", when was that taken? I'd almost guess 1985 due to the number. I wonder because it helps to push back the chronology of when the knoll was studied, and can show how long the knoll was understood before the recent... ahem... "theory".

I appreciate your help in this. It'll come in handy if I ever decide to weigh in on the subject myself.
