Unreferenced date January 2009 The Stavelot Massif is a massif geological massif in the Belgium Belgian Ardennes geologically a part of the Rhenish Massif . Most of the massif crops out in Belgium, but a small part lies across the border with Germany . The massif consists of early Paleozoic late Cambrian and Ordovician in age metamorphic rock s, mostly quartzite s and phyllite s. In other parts of the Ardennes they form a basement geology basement which is covered by only slightly metamorphism metamorphosed late Paleozoic limestone s and sandstone s, that only saw a low degree of metamorphism . On the other hand, the early Paleozoic rocks were deformed and metamorphosed to a higher degree during the Caledonian orogeny about ma 450 390 . Both the Caledonian basement geology basement and the low grade cover rocks were Deformation geology deformed again during the Hercynian orogeny about ma 350 280 . This tectonic phase phase of deformation created a large northeast southwest oriented anticline that runs across the Belgian part of the Rhenish Massif the Ardennes anticline . In the core of this anticline a number of massifs of early Paleozoic rocks crop out. The Stavelot Massif is one the larger, other Caledonian massifs are the Rocroi Massif , the Serpont Massif and the Givonne Massif . The higher competence geology competence of the Caledonian basement rocks made them more resistant to erosion . The massif therefore forms a plateau in the topography .

The Atlantis Massif is a prominent undersea massif , a dome shaped region approximately 10 mi. 16 km across and rising about 14,000 ft. 4250 m from the sea floor, in the Atlantic Ocean North Atlantic Ocean . It is located at approximately 30 8 N latitude 42 8 W longitude just east of the intersection of the Mid Atlantic Ridge with the Atlantis Transform Fault . The highest point of the massif is approximately 700 m beneath the surface. The massif was formed approximately 1.5 2.0 million years ago. Geologic studies of the massif have indicated that it is not composed of the black basalt typical of the ocean floor, but rather of dense green peridotite usually found in the earth s mantle mantle . The central dome is corrugated and striated in a way that is representative of an exposed ultramafic oceanic core complex . It is believed that the massif was formed underneath the nearby Mid Atlantic Ridge but was pulled underneath the ridge during the movement of the plate tectonics plates . The Lost City hydrothermal field Lost City hydrothermal field , discovered in 2000, is near the summit of the ridge. An expedition to the area in 1996 made an important advance in the study of the ocean floor. It found that a steeply sloping detachment fault is associated with the oceanic core complex structure. The dome was caused by mantle material being extruded to the surface.
