Summary  
Based on the seismic and well dataset provided by the Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI), the authors have mapped and described  
the characteristics of the distribution and morphology of magmatic bodies as well as relatively dated them in the Tu Chinh - Vung May  
basin and adjacent areas. To distinguish magmatic bodies from other amplitude anomalies such as gas zone or carbonate build-up/layers,  
multiple criteria were used such as cross-cutting relationship, associated deformation of surrounding strata, morphology and geological  
relationship between different magmatic bodies. Intrusive bodies are usually sheet-like or saucer-shaped sills that cross-cut strata and  
even deform overlying strata, while extrusive bodies are usually cone-shaped vents/volcanoes or extensive lava sheets that conform to  
strata. The magmatic bodies often distribute in clusters around one or more magmatic conduits. Middle Miocene and older syn-rift faults  
controlled the pathway of the conduits. Magmatic bodies are more abundant closer to the East Sea spreading margin. Late Miocene -  
Quaternary magmatism is widespread in the study area in particular, and in the East Sea and adjacent areas in general. These activities  
took place after rifting and oceanic crust formation had ended, which is characteristic of magma-poor margins.  
Key words: Intrusive, extrusive, Tu Chinh - Vung May basin, Late Miocene - Quaternary, Vietnam continental shelf.  
1. Introduction  
Late Miocene - Quaternary magmatism is widespread  
basin (Figure 1). During the Eocene - Middle Miocene, the  
study area underwent two phases of continental rifting  
closely related to the seafloor spreading in the East Sea:  
1) N-S extension during Eocene - Early Oligocene; and  
2) NW-SE extension during the Early - Middle Miocene  
[4 - 6]. The rifting process led to extreme thinning of the  
continental crust around the seafloor spreading domain,  
with a continent-ocean transition zone of up to hundreds  
of km wide [7, 8].  
over the East Sea and adjacent areas [1, 2], yet there are  
not many studies on the spatial and temporal distribution  
as well as the geological relationship between magmatic  
bodies in the Vietnam continental shelf. This paper  
presents the morphology, age, distribution pattern and  
geological relationship of the Late Miocene - Quaternary  
intrusives and extrusives in the Tu Chinh - Vung May basin,  
southeastern continental shelf of Vietnam (Figure 1), based  
on VPI’s seismic and well dataset updated until 2020.  
From the Late Miocene to date, the tectonic regime  
is dominated by thermal subsidence. At the same time,  
basaltic magmatism occurred throughout the East Sea  
as well as in South Central Vietnam [9, 10]. Magmatism  
in hyper-extended crust around the East Sea oceanic  
domain has been documented in the Pearl River Mouth  
basin [11], Qiongdongnan basin and the Hoang Sa  
basin [12], and Phu Khanh basin [4]. Magmatism is also  
recognised in the oceanic domain during this time [13].  
The widespread magmatism occurred after rifting and

To determine the spatial  
distribution of different phases  
of magmatism during the Late  
Miocene - Quaternary, we used  
an integrated dataset of seismic  
and wells from the petroleum  
industry, provided by VPI. The  
locations of seismic and well data  
are indicated in Figure 1.

In the study area, more than  
40,000 km of 2D seismic data with  
2 km to 32 km spacing has been  
interpreted. Due to differences  
in acquisition dates from 1974 to  
2012, the quality of the seismic  
data changes depending on  
the survey. However, in general,  
the quality of the seismic data is  
medium to good.

There are 18 wells used in the  
study area. Most of the wells are  
in the eastern part of the Nam  
Con Son basin, only 3 wells are  
in the Tu Chinh - Vung May basin.  
Bio-stratigraphic data from these  
wells are used to correlate the  
Top Pliocene, Top Late Miocene  
and Top Middle Miocene on  
seismic data across the study  
area (Figure 2).

criteria to evaluate whether a seismic anomaly is a  
magmatic body (Figure 3). The intrusive bodies can be  
distinguished from gas anomalies and carbonate build-  
up/layers by identifying up-domed strata above the  
intrusive bodies, cross-cutting relationship, morphology  
and geological relationship with other extrusive bodies if  
present. Large intrusive bodies deform overlying strata by  
uplifting them during emplacement, thus creating a dome  
over the intrusive body, which is then onlapped by younger  
sediments during burial (Figure 5). Gas anomalies and  
carbonate deposits cannot deform overlying deposits in  
such manner. In addition, saucer-shaped bodies also cross-  
cut strata, which is completely different from gas anomalies  
and carbonate deposits. Last but not least, connection  
with other intrusive and extrusive bodies can put them in  
an overall framework, thus increasing the interpretation  
confidence.  
Well-defined magmatic bodies can be further divided  
into the following types based on morphology [14 - 16]  
(Figure 4):  
- The intrusive: can be further divided into 2 types:  
+ Sills: often exhibit high seismic amplitude due to  
the magmatic material having higher acoustic impedance  
contrast compared to the surrounding sediments. They  
usually cross-cut or are sub-parallel to country rock layer-  
ing with many different shapes such as saucer shape and  
sheet (Figure 4).  
+ Stocks: transparent reflection, with up-dragged  
surrounding strata, probably due to upward emplace-  
ment of the magmatic body (Figure 4).  
- The extrusive:  
+ Vents/volcanoes: cone-shaped, with chaotic reflec-  
tion within the bodies. Onlap of surrounding strata due  
to later burial can be observed. Immediately below the  
vents/volcanoes there are usually columns of transparent  
seismic reflection, representing magmatic conduits from  
deeper levels. Lavas are often observed around vents/vol-  
canoes.  
Meanwhile, the extrusive bodies can be distinguished  
from gas anomalies and carbonate build-up/layers by  
morphology and geological relationship with other  
magmatic bodies. Cone-shaped features with inner  
transparent seismic reflection are very distinct from  
those of gas anomalies and carbonate platforms. They  
may look like carbonate mounds/reefs, but since these  
features in the study area were formed in deep-water  
settings, it is unlikely. Thus, the cone-shaped features and  
the surrounding high amplitude layers are interpreted as  
vents/volcanoes and lava sheets.  
+ Lavas: continuous and high amplitude, distributed  
around vents/volcanoes. Positive polarity across the seis-  
mic body indicates an increase in acoustic impedance.  
They are often found in topographic lows close to vents/  
volcanoes.

+ Conduits: column of chaotic  
or transparent seismic reflection, lo-  
cated immediately under vents/vol-  
canoes or under sills. These conduits  
can be vertical or go along faults.

A common method to date the  
absolute age of magmatic rocks is the  
radiometric method. However, in the  
study area, very few seafloor samples  
and well samples are available,  
and these wells do not penetrate  
the identified shallow magmatic  
bodies. Therefore, we use cross-  
cutting relationship and stratigraphic  
relationship to relatively date these  
magmatic bodies. For extrusive

the  
vents/volcanoes-  
lavas complex are dated as the  
stratigraphic interval containing the  
lavas. For intrusive bodies, they are  
dated younger than the stratigraphic  
interval that they intrude into.  
Occasionally, the age of intrusive  
bodies can be further constrained by  
identifying up-domed strata above  
the intrusive bodies (Figure 5).

5. Characteristics of magmatism in  
the study area  
In the study area, a total of 16  
intrusive and 14 extrusive clusters  
have been identified (Figure 6). For  
each magmatic cluster, more detailed  
features were identified like vents/  
volcanoes, lavas, sills, or conduits.  
These features are closely related in  
spatial arrangement:

deeper levels (Figures 5 and 7);  
- Vents/volcanoes have con-  
duits connecting with shallow sills,  
or from deeper levels within the pre-  
Cenozoic basement;  
+ Eye-shaped vents: occasionally vent complexes can exhibit this shape,  
with concave down lower boundary. They have been attributed to country rock  
damage and collapsed due to explosive ejection of extrusive materials [14].

vents/volcanoes and are constrained spatially by paleo-  
topography (Figure 7). Occasionally lavas are identified  
without vents/volcanoes, probably because vents/volca-  
noes lie between the relatively widely spaced 2D seismic  
lines;  
The age of these magmatic bodies ranges from Late  
Miocene to Quaternary. A couple of vents/volcanoes also  
extruded onto the modern seafloor.  
Currently there are very few samples collected from  
young volcanoes in the study area. As a result, it is very  
difficult to predict their composition. Near-surface drop-  
core data of these bodies indicate that they contain  
vesicular basalt (Figure 9). However, there have not been  
any detailed studies on the petrography, geochemistry as  
well as origin of these samples.  
- Conduits often follow syn-rift faults formed in the  
Middle Miocene or older, or are vertical in the Late Mio-  
cene - Quaternary section (Figure 8). This indicates the im-  
portant role that old syn-rift faults have in controlling the  
magmatic pathway.  
Sills, vents/volcanoes and lavas are the most common  
magmatic bodies in the study area. They are distributed  
in clusters with the same conduit system. The diameter of  
these clusters ranges from several km to tens of km, most  
commonly under 10 km.  
6. Discussion  
Some prior studies have mapped magmatic bodies  
at a large scale on the continental shelf of Vietnam [1].  
Identification of magmatic bodies were primarily based  
on seismic characteristics and cross-cutting relationships,  
thus the seismic bodies are interpreted separately without  
context. Our study identifies these magmatic bodies  
based on multiple criteria such as seismic characteristics,  
associated deformation and cross-cutting relationship,  
morphology, geological settings, as well as linkage to  
other magmatic bodies (Figures 7 and 8). Once the linkage  
and relationship between different magmatic bodies  
are identified, interpretation uncertainties for the whole  
magmatic complex will be reduced.  
ExtrusivebodiesarecommonintheEastSeaspreading-  
influenced domain, Da Lat - Da Tay differentiated high and  
the margin around the Tu Chinh high. Their areas range  
from 10 to 150 km2. Their thickness changes from 30 -  
170 m, however due to the limit of the seismic data there  
might exist thinner extrusive bodies.  
Intrusive bodies are identified in the East Sea  
spreading-influenced domain, north of the Vung May  
trough, part of the Vung May high and west of the Tu  
Chinh high. The area of these bodies changes from 15 to  
170 km2.

and adjacent areas have many things in common with  
magmatic bodies in other areas of the East Sea. The  
intrusive bodies are often saucer-shaped or sheet-like sills  
while extrusive bodies are commonly vents/volcanoes  
surrounded by lavas [3]. Occasionally, seamounts on the  
seafloor can be identified with height up to several km  
(Figure 9). These magmatic bodies also distribute around  
conduit systems that follow syn-rift faults in deeper levels,  
and travel vertically in shallower section (Figure 8), as  
encountered in the Qiongdongnan and Hoang Sa basins  
[12, 16]. In addition, the mapped magmatic distribution  
has a broad NE-SW trend (Figure 6), which is consistent

with that of old syn-rift faults. These syn-rift faults formed  
in response to regional extension during the Cenozoic  
associated with the East Sea seafloor spreading, thus  
many of them are large-scale listric faults that may control  
the pathway for magmatic materials from deep crustal  
level during the Miocene-Quaternary.  
Magmatism is most intense and widespread in the  
Late Miocene - Quaternary in the study area in particular,  
and in the East Sea and adjacent areas in general.  
These activities occurred after continental rifting and  
seafloor-spreading had ended, which is characteristic of  
magma-poor margins. Further studies focusing on the  
petrography, geochemistry and origin of these magmatic  
bodies are needed to clarify their roles in the metallogeny  
of deep-water solid mineral resources in the East Sea.  
Most of the magmatism in the study area occurred  
during the Late Miocene-Quaternary. They cut across the  
Middle Miocene Unconformity (MMU), which is a regional  
unconformity that marks the end of regional rifting [3,  
7]. This magmatic timing is consistent with widespread  
post-spreading magmatism in the East Sea, including  
the oceanic crust domain and the hyper-extended crust  
margin [3, 17]. This post-spreading magmatism also  
coincides with widespread basaltic magmatism onshore,  
particularly in the South Central Vietnam [9, 10], Hainan  
island and the Leizhou peninsula [17]. Therefore, this  
post-spreading magmatism is widespread on a regional  
scale, not only in the East Sea but also in the Indochina  
continental block and adjacent areas.

Based on the interpretation of about 40,000 km of 2D  
seismic data integrated with well data provided by VPI,  
the authors have identified 16 intrusive and 14 extrusive  
clusters in the Tu Chinh - Vung May basin and adjacent  
areas. Multiple criteria are used to identify the magmatic  
bodies including seismic characteristics, cross-cutting  
relationship, deformation of overlying strata, morphology  
and geological relationships. The intrusive bodies are  
often saucer-shaped or sheet-like sills, while the extrusive  
bodies are dominantly cone-like vents/volcanoes or  
sheet-like extrusive layers. The intrusive and extrusive  
bodies are often distributed in clusters with one or more  
common conduits. Magmatic conduits typically follow  
NE-SW trending syn-rift faults that formed during the  
Cenozoic basin formation and seafloor spreading in the  
East Sea. This is consistent with the broad NE-SW trend  
of magmatic distribution. Magmatic bodies are more  
abundant near the East Sea seafloor-spreading margin.
