It is of middle Cretaceous age and a number of fossils have been dredged from it.Cape Johnson Guyot is also known as Cape Johnson Seamount or Cape Johnson Tablemount.[2] The guyot was named by Harry Hammond Hess, after his ship the USS\u00a0Cape Johnson; Hess had also named the kind of flat-topped seamount “guyot” and another seamount was named after Hess himself.[3] The seamount was first described in a 1946 publication.[4] Both Hess and Cape Johnson were discovered during the same cruise[5] and Cape Johnson Guyot is the type locality of guyots.[6]Table of ContentsGeography and geology[edit]Biology[edit]References[edit]Sources[edit]Geography and geology[edit]The seamount lies in the Mid-Pacific Mountains[7] on their southern side and is a submarine mountain with a flat top that rises[8] over 3,000 metres (10,000\u00a0ft)[9] to a depth of 1,692 metres (5,551\u00a0ft)[10][11]-1,778 metres (5,833\u00a0ft).[12] The flat top has an oval shape and a surface area of 6 by 12 nautical miles (11\u00a0km \u00d7\u00a022\u00a0km; 6.9\u00a0mi \u00d7\u00a013.8\u00a0mi);[13] it is characterized by a limestone dome on the summit, buried beneath sediments; in turn a volcanic hill is buried within the limestone dome.[14] The top of the seamount has a hummocky appearance which has been interpreted as a sediment cover[15] and its southeastern sector has a bank-like shape that resembles that of an atoll.[16] Cape Johnson Guyot is considered to be of Middle Cretaceous age[17] with an age of 120 million years reported[18] and shallow-water fossils were emplaced on it at that time.[19]Apatite,[20]basaltic sandstone containing hypersthene,[21]clay,[22]limestone, manganese crusts,[23]manganese oxide, phosphorite[24] and lithified carbonates have been found on Cape Johnson Guyot;[25] some carbonates of biogenic origin have been altered by apatite.[26]Globigerina ooze is also found on the seamount[27] and can reach substantial thickness; such accumulations might be formed by ocean currents.[28] Similar rocks have been found at other guyots of the Mid-Pacific Mountains.[29]Biology[edit]During the Cretaceous, corals and rudists lived on Cape Johnson Guyot[30] and fossils have been dated to 91-112 million years ago;[31] some corals[32] and rudists are of Albian to Cenomanian age.[33] Fossils of anthozoa,[34]gastropods, reef-building hexacorals,[35]pelecypods, stromatoporoids[36] and Tridacna were also found.[37] The Cretaceous fossils[38]Actinostroma pacifica,[39]Astrocoenia dietzi,[40]Brachyseris montemarina,[41] the caprinid rudists Caprina mediopacifica, Caprina mulleri[42] – including a detailedly described holotype of the latter[43] – and Cardita sp.,[44]Lophosmilia fundimaritima,[45]Montastrea menardii,[46]Nerinea sp.[47] and Tiarasmilia casteri occur on Cape Johnson Guyot.[48]Caprina mulleri was also found on other Mid-Pacific Mountains.[49] About 300 species of extant foraminifera have been found on the seamount as well,[50] with additional fossil foraminifera[51] including Paleocene-Eocene specimens that were redeposited by ocean currents.[52] Finally, a cetacean bone of undetermined age has also been found on Cape Johnson Guyot.[53]References[edit]^ Hamilton 1956, p.19^ Marineregions 2019^ BUDDINGTON, p.21^ Hamilton 1956, p.18^ Hamilton 1953, p.213^ Marineregions 2019^ Hamilton and Rex 1959, p.787^ Hamilton 1953, p.213^ Hamilton 1956, p.19^ Hamilton 1953, p.213^ Hamilton 1956, p.20^ Hey and Grigg 1992, p.175^ Hamilton 1956, p.20^ Winterer, Sager and Firth 1995, p.436^ Hamilton 1956, p.18^ Hamilton 1956, p.20^ Shields 1976, p.47^ Morgan 1972, p.12^ Winterer, Sager and Firth 1995, p.436^ El Wardani 1958, p.240^ Heezen and MacGregor 1973, p.667^ Hamilton 1956, p.20^ Hamilton 1953, p.213^ Hill 2005, p.682^ Fischer and Garrison 1967, p.489^ Hamilton and Rex 1959, p.787^ Hamilton 1953, p.213^ Hamilton 1953, p.219^ Heezen and MacGregor 1973, p.655^ Hamilton 1959, p.1409^ Hey and Grigg 1992, p.175^ L\u00f6ser 2010, p.158^ Hamilton 1956, p.26^ Hamilton 1956, p.22^ Hamilton 1956, p.20^ Hamilton 1956, p.22^ UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY. p.5^ Cairns 1991, p.31^ Hamilton 1956, p.61^ Cairns 1991, p.31^ Cairns 1991, p.42^ Sano et al. 2012, p.849^ Masse, Sano and Skelton 2013, p.517^ Cairns 1991, p.66^ Cairns 1991, p.34^ Hamilton 1956, p.59^ Cairns 1991, p.64^ L\u00f6ser 2010, p.161^ Masse, Sano and Skelton 2013, p.515^ Hamilton 1953, p.207^ Hamilton 1953, p.213^ Hamilton 1953, p.219^ Hamilton 1956, p.29Sources[edit]BUDDINGTON, A.
