Major and trace element concentrations of sediments from the IODP Exp302 sites

We analyzed a suite of sediment samples recovered in the central Arctic Ocean for major, trace, and rare earth elements in order to assess changes in terrigenous source material throughout the Cenozoic. The terrigenous component consists of two end-members. Input from a shale-like composition dominates bulk sediments, especially those deposited during the Paleocene and since the Miocene, and may represent sediment supply from the eastern Laptev Sea. Therefore, even though the environment and transport mechanisms may have varied from ice free to ice dominated, sequences of the early Paleogene and later Neogene appear to have been influenced by a single major terrigenous source. This suggests similar transport capabilities and trajectories for both ocean and drift currents through significant parts of the Cenozoic. Influence from a more mafic source appears to be more important through the early Eocene to the middle Miocene and most likely represents material from the western Laptev Sea or Kara Sea. Thus, Eocene major changes in surface water productivity appear broadly synchronous with those in terrigenous provenance. A combination of regional sea level variations, local shelf processes, and transport mechanisms are among the more probable causes for the observed source changes. Although the assignment of sources using chemistry presently is constrained by a lack of data from certain regions (e.g., eastern Siberian Sea) our results generally agree with inferences based on mineralogy or radiogenic isotopes and shed further light on long-term reconstructions of the central Arctic Ocean.

La revisión de las líneas teóricas que han tenido mayor desarrollo en la historia del campo educativo en relación con los ejes problemáticos planteados, proporcionan el marco referencial para la reconstrucción crítica y la evaluación de los procesos de intervención que se proponen en las mencionadas cátedras. El carácter de investigación básica y aplicada habilita por un lado la posibilidad de un estudio teórico y de producción de nuevos conocimientos y, por otra parte la construcción de estrategias y tácticas de acción para itinerarios reflexivos y situados en la formación docente.

Granulometry, mineralogy and geochemistry of sediments from ODP Hole 169-1037B and Site 169-1038

Central Hill is in the northern part of the Escanaba Trough, which is a sediment-filled rift of southern Gorda Ridge. Central Hill is oriented north-south and is associated with extensive sulfide deposits. Hydrothermal alteration of sediment from Site 1038 was studied through analyses of mineralogy and the chemistry and oxygen isotopic compositions of one nearly pure clay sample. In addition, Site 1037 was drilled to establish the character of the unaltered sedimentary sequence away from the hydrothermal centers of the Northern Escanaba Trough Study Area (NESCA). Mineralogy of the clay-size fraction of turbiditic and hemipelagic sediments of Hole 1037B are predominantly quartz, feldspar, pyroxene, illite, chlorite, and smectite, representing continental-derived material. Cores from Hole 1038I, located within the area of Central Hill but away from known active vent areas, recovered minor amounts of chlorite/smectite mixed-layer clay in the fine fraction, indicating a low-temperature hydrothermal alteration. The 137.4-m-thick sediment section of Hole 1038G is located in an area of low-temperature venting. The uppermost sample is classified as chlorite/smectite mixed layer, which is underlain by chlorite as the dominant mineral. The lowermost deposits of Hole 1038G are also characterized by chlorite/smectite mixed-layer clay. In comparison to Hole 1038I, the mineralogic sequence of Hole 1038G reflects increased chloritization. Intensely altered sediment is almost completely replaced by hydrothermal chlorite in subsurface sediments of Hole 1038H. Alteration to chlorite is characterized by depletion in Na, K, Ti, Ca, Sr, Cs, and Tl and enrichment in Ba. Further, Eu depletion reflects a high-temperature plagioclase alteration. A chlorite 18O value of 2.6 indicates formation at a temperature of ~190°C. It is concluded that the authigenic chlorite in Hole 1038H formed by an active high-temperature fluid flow in the shallow subsurface.

Geochemistry of the oceanic crust from ocean drilling samples

This book presents new data on chemical and mineral compositions and on density of altered and fresh igneous rocks from key DSDP and ODP holes drilled on the following main tectonomagmatic structures of the ocean floor: 1. Mid-ocean ridges and abyssal plains and basins (DSDP Legs 37, 61, 63, 64, 65, 69, 70, 83, and 91 and ODP Legs 106, 111, 123, 129, 137, 139, 140, 148, and 169); 2. Seamounts and guyots (DSDP Legs 19, 55, and 62 and ODP Legs 143 and 144); 3. Intraplate rises (DSDP Legs 26, 33, 51, 52, 53, 72, and 74 and ODP Legs 104, 115, 120, 121, and 183); and 4. Marginal seas (DSDP Legs 19, 59, and 60 and ODP Legs 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, and 135). Study results of altered gabbro from the Southwest Indian Ridge (ODP Leg 118) and serpentinized ultramafic rocks from the Galicia margin (ODP Leg 103) are also presented. Samples were collected by the authors from the DSDP/ODP repositories, as well as during some Glomar Challenger and JOIDES Resolution legs. The book also includes descriptions of thin sections, geochemical diagrams, data on secondary mineral assemblages, and recalculated results of chemical analyses with corrections for rock density. Atomic content of each element can be quantified in grams per standard volume (g/1000 cm**3). The suite of results can be used to estimate mass balance, but parts of the data need additional work, which depends on locating fresh analogs of altered rocks studied here. Results of quantitative estimation of element mobility in recovered sections of the upper oceanic crust as a whole are shown for certain cases: Hole 504B (Costa Rica Rift) and Holes 856H, 857C, and 857D (Middle Valley, Juan de Fuca Ridge).

Bulk sedimentology from Sites M0002 and M0004 of the ACEX (Exp302) expedition to the Arctic Ocean

Except for a few discontinuous fragments of the Late Cretaceous/Early Cenozoic climate history and depositional environment, the paleoenvironmental evolution of the pre-Neogene central Arctic Ocean was virtually unknown prior to the IODP Expedition 302 (Arctic Ocean Coring Expedition - ACEX) drilling campaign on Lomonosov Ridge in 2004. Here we present detailed organic carbon (OC) records from the entire ca. 200 m thick Paleogene OC-rich section of the ACEX drill sites. These records indicate euxinic "Black Sea-type" conditions favorable for the preservation of labile aquatic (marine algae-type) OC occur throughout the upper part of the early Eocene and the middle Eocene, explained by salinity stratification due to freshwater discharge. The superimposed short-term ("Milankovitch-type") variability in amount and composition of OC is related to changes in primary production and terrigenous input. Prominent early Eocene events of algae-type OC preservation coincide with global d13C events such as the PETM and Elmo events. The Elmo d13C Event has been identified in the Arctic Ocean for the first time.

Magnetic mineralogy and geochemistry of ODP Holes 137-504B and 140-504B samples

Leg 140 of the Ocean Drilling Program deepened Hole 504B to a total depth of 2000.4 m below seafloor (mbsf), making it the deepest hole drilled into ocean crust. Site 504, south of the Costa Rica Rift, is considered the most important in-situ reference section for the structure of shallow ocean crust. We present the results of studies of magnetic mineralogy and magnetic properties of Hole 504B upper crustal rocks recovered during Legs 137 and 140. Results from this sample set are consistent with those discussed in Pariso et al. (this volume) from Legs 111, 137, and 140. Coercivity (Hc) ranges from 5.3 to 27.7 mT (mean 12 mT), coercivity of remanence (HCR) ranges from 13.3 to 50.6 mT (mean 26 mT), and the ratio HCR/HC ranges from 1.6 to 3.19 (mean 2.13). Saturation magnetization (JS) ranges from 0.03 to 5.94 * 10**-6 Am**2, (mean 2.52 * 10**-6 Am**2), saturation remanence (JR) ranges from 0.01 to 0.58 * 10**-6 Am2 (mean 0.37 * 10**-6 Am**2), and the ratio JR/JS ranges from 0.08 to 0.29 (mean 0.16), consistent with pseudo-single-domain behavior. Natural remanent magnetization (NRM) intensity ranges from 0.029 to 7.18 A/m (mean 2.95 A/m), whereas RM10 intensity varies only from 0.006 to 4.8 A/m and has a mean of only 1.02 A/m. Anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM) intensity ranges from 0.04 to 6.0 A/m, with a mean of 2.46 A/m, and isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) intensity ranges from 0.5 to 1683 A/m, with a mean of 430.7 A/m. Volume susceptibility ranges from 0.0003 to 0.043 SI (mean 0.011 SI). In all samples examined, high-temperature oxidation of primary titanomagnetite has produced lamellae or pods of magnetite and ilmenite. Hydrothermal alteration has further altered the minerals in some samples to a mixture of magnetite, ilmenite, titanite, and a high-titanium mineral (either rutile or anatase). Electron microprobe analyses show that magnetite lamellae are enriched in the trivalent oxides Cr2O3, Al2O3, and V2O5, whereas divalent oxides (MnO and MgO) are concentrated in ilmenite lamellae.

Composition of ferromanganese crusts from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans

A collection of layered ferromanganese ores (27 samples) from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans was studied. Trace element and PGE contents were determined layer-by-layer (up to 10 microlayers) in 13 of these samples. The trace, rare earth, and platinum group element distributions, including their layer-to-layer variations, were compared in hydrogenic and hydrothermal crusts from different regions. It was found that the main PGE variations (by a factor of 10-50) are related to their layer-to-layer variations within a given ore field. The distributions of PGE and trace elements are strongly heterogeneous, which is related, first, to different contents of the elements in the layers of different age in ferromanganese crusts (FMC) and, second, to the observed regional heterogeneity and influence of hydrothermal fluids. Geochemical data indicate that CFC formation was mainly caused by the hydrochemical precipitation of material from seawater. This process was accompanied by diagenetic phenomena, water-rock interaction, and influence of volcanic and hydrothermal sources.

Geochemistry of the lower sheeted dike complex of ODP Holes 137-504B and 140-504B

Sixty-three samples representing 379 m of sheeted dikes from Deep Sea Drilling Project/Ocean Drilling Program Site 504B have been analyzed for major and selected trace elements by X-ray fluorescence. The samples range from microcrystalline aphyric basalts to moderately phyric (2%-10% phenocrysts) diabase that are typically multiply saturated with plagioclase, olivine, and clinopyroxene, in order of relative abundance. All analyzed samples are classified as Group D compositions with moderate to slightly elevated compatible elements (MgÆ-value = 0.65% ± 0.03%; Al2O3 = 15.5% ± 0.8%; CaO = 13.0% ± 0.3%; Ni = 114 ± 29 ppm), and unusually depleted levels of moderate to highly incompatible elements (Nb < 1 ppm; Zr = 44 ± 7 ppm; Rb < 0.5 ppm; Ba ~ 1 ppm; P2O5 = 0.07% ± 0.02%). These compositions are consistent with a multistage melting of a normal ocean ridge basaltic mantle source followed by extensive fractionation of olivine, plagioclase, and clinopyroxene. Leg 140 aphyric to sparsely phyric (0%-2% phenocrysts) basalts and diabases are compositionally indistinguishable from similarly phyric samples at higher levels in the hole. An examination of the entire crustal section, from the overlying volcanics through the sheeted dikes observed in Leg 140, reveals no significant trends indicating the enrichment or depletion of Costa Rica Rift Zone source magmas over time. Similarly, significant trends toward increased or decreased differentiation cannot be identified, although compositional patterns reflecting variable amounts of phenocryst addition are apparent at various depths. Below ? 1700 mbsf to the bottom of the Leg 140 section, there is a broadly systematic pattern of Zn depletion with depth, the result of high-temperature hydrothermal leaching. This zone of depletion is thought to be a significant source of Zn for the hydrothermal fluids depositing metal sulfides at ridge-crest hydrothermal vents and the sulfide-mineralization zone, located in the transition between pillow lavas and sheeted dikes. Localized zones of intense alteration (60%-95% recrystallization) are present on a centimeter to meter scale in many lithologic units. Within these zones, normally immobile elements Ti, Zr, Y, and rare-earth elements are strongly depleted compared with "fresher" samples centimeters away. The extent of compositional variability of these elements tends to obscure primary igneous trends if the highly altered samples are not identified or removed. At levels up to 40% (or possibly 60%) recrystallization, Ti, Zr, and Y retain their primary signatures. Although the mechanisms are unclear, it is possible that these intense alteration zones are a source of Y and rare-earth elements for the typically rare-earth-element-enriched hydrothermal vent fluids of mid-ocean ridges.
