A small reflection seismic experiment with an explosive source was conducted in southeastern Georgia to determine the polarity of an unusually strong midcrustal reflector, the Surrency Bright Spot (SBS) ...at a depth of approximately 16 km ...notable for being unusually flat and horizontal for about half of its 4 km length.
