Vlinder Guyot (also known as Alba Seamount) is a guyot in the Western Pacific Ocean. It rises to a depth of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) and has a flat top covering an area of 40 by 50 kilometres (25 mi × 31 mi). On top of this flat top lie some volcanic cones, one of which rises to a depth of 551 metres (1,808 ft) below sea level.
The Magellan Seamounts extend from to . They include: Govorov Guyot [7. 7]; 121 ± 2.8 to 98.5 ± 1.4 Ma [7]; Ioah Seamount (also known as Ioah Guyot, Ioan Seamount or Fedorov Seamount) . 8]; 87 million years old [8]; Pako Guyot. 9]; 92 million years old [9] but volcanics have been now dated in range 112 to 86 Ma and < 20 Ma in smaller volcanoes on the guyot.

The seamount was volcanically active during the Cretaceous-Paleogene [9] 91.3 million years ago [10] and may have formed on a hotspot together with Ioah Guyot and Vlinder Guyot; [11] a late phase of volcanism may have taken place in the Paleocene-Eocene. [12] The hotspots that formed Pako Guyot were located in what is today French Polynesia. [6]
The Bear Seamount (left), a guyot in the northern Atlantic Ocean. In marine geology, a guyot (/ ˈ ɡ iː. oʊ, ɡ iː ˈ oʊ /), [1] [2] also called a tablemount, is an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200 m (660 ft) below the surface of the sea. [3] The diameters of these flat summits can exceed 10 km (6 mi). [3]
Rodriguez Seamount is a seamount and guyot located in the Pacific Ocean about 150 km (93 mi; 81 nmi) off the coast of Central California.It is structurally similar to the nearby Guide, Pioneer, Gumdrop, and Davidson seamounts, all located roughly between 37.5° and 34.0° degrees North latitude.
Resolution Guyot (formerly known as Huevo) is a guyot (tablemount) in the underwater Mid-Pacific Mountains in the Pacific Ocean. It is a circular flat mountain, rising 500 metres (1,600 ft) above the seafloor to a depth of about 1,320 metres (4,330 ft), with a 35-kilometre-wide (22-mile) summit platform.

Bathymetric charts showcase depth using a series of lines and points at equal intervals, called depth contours or isobaths (a type of contour line). A closed shape with increasingly smaller shapes inside of it can indicate an ocean trench or a seamount, or underwater mountain, depending on whether the depths increase or decrease going inward.
