On the basis of marine magnetic modeling, the main structural and geological elements of the basement of Tomini Basin are identified. At the centre of the basin, the up-doming feature points to an elevated magnetic susceptibility value. A geological model indicates that the entire basement of Tomini Basin is characterized by an oceanic-like crust with a basin axis at the centre nearly an east-west direction and suggests a rift-related graben.<br /><br /></p>
