(Table 2) Geochemistry of ore minerals and magnetization properties at the DSDP Leg 73 Holes

The samples investigated in this study come from DSDP Leg 73 Drill Holes 519A, 522B, and 524, all of which are in the South Atlantic. A general petrographic description of the basalts is given by Carman et al. (1984; doi:10.2973/dsdp.proc.73.120.1984).

Clay minerals in bottom sediments of the St. Anna Trough

This paper is devoted to studies of clay minerals from two cores collected in the northern and central regions of the St. Anna Trough, the largest trough of the Kara Sea. Upper Quaternary glacial, glaciomarine, and marine deposits are characterized by various contents of kaolinite, chlorite, illite, and smectite. It is established that, from older to younger deposits, amounts of kaolinite and chlorite generally decrease, while those of illite and smectite, on the contrary, increase. A joint analysis of distributions of clay and heavy minerals over the section allowed us to refine position of sources for terrigenous matter and their temporal variability. It is shown changes in sources of supply were directly related to climate changes that occurred when passing from glacial to marine sedimentation environments.
