Abstract
An attempt has been made to date three oceanic basalt samples from the North Fiji Basin, including South Pandora Ridge, by the fission track technique. All three samples are Quaternary in age. The South Pandora Ridge is a young feature, with associated basalts having been extruded in the last 100,000 years.
