EstablishedNamed as an example of a large igneous province; nothing further is sourced.
The Ontong Java plateau is named by the USGS magmatic nickel model as an oceanic plateau, the model’s representative large igneous province in an oceanic setting among its examples of large igneous provinces. Lithoen has retrieved nothing further about it: no extent, no dates, no volume, and no account of its origin.
- precision note: A record that exists to hold a name in its correct class. It carries no geometry and no history, because Lithoen has read no source that supplies either.
