Composition of rocks and minerals from the Cape Verde Fault Zone

Results of comprehensive geological, geophysical and geochemical studies carried out in the Cape Verde Fracture Zone (Central Atlantic) during Cruise 9 of R/V ''Antares'' (1990-1991) are published in the book. Detailed characterization of various bedrock complexes (ultrabasites, gabbroids, dolerites, basalts, metamorphic rocks) is given. Geological conditions of newly found hydrothermal mineralization in the area are described. Problems of ore melts are under consideration. New data on hydrochemical anomalies and heat flow are given. The book contains original materials on sedimentary formations of the area.

Chemical composition of rocks and minerals from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near 15°20'N

The monograph summarizes results of petrological and geochemical studies of rocks from the ocean floor collected by the authors during expeditions to the Central Atlantic. Detailed work in the Capa Verde transform fault zone gave a large amount of new information about magmatic and hydrothermal systems of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from the R/V Thomas Washington ROUNDABOUT Cruise stations

The cores described are taken during the R/V Thomas Washington ROUNDABOUT Cruise from May 1988 until March 1989 by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. A total of 159 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at Scripps Institute of Oceanography for sampling and study.
