Ita Mai Tai the Cretaceous. Radiometric dating has yielded ages of about 118-120 million years ago. At least during the Paleocene, Ita Mai Tai emerged above sea level. From the Aptian to the Miocene, carbonates were deposited on the seamount and reached an eventual thickness of about . Additionally, the seamount has subsided by about , albeit with time periods where this subsidence was interrupted by the growth of coral reefs. Most of the subsidence occurred during the Oligocene when sedimentation rates were depressed, but the carbonate platform drowned no later than the Eocene, with oolithes forming underwater. During three different episodes in
