(Table T1) Fluid inclusions in siltstone and sandstone grains from ODP Hole 210-1276A

Twenty samples of siltstones and sandstones were taken from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1276 during Leg 210 for fluid inclusion studies. With the exception of one sample of vein calcite, all inclusions were in quartz grains. The results of fluid-inclusion petrology and microthermometry indicate the presence of three fluid inclusion types (Types 1, 2, and 3). Type 1 fluid inclusions are two-phase (liquid + vapor) aqueous inclusions, and Type 2 inclusions are monophase fluid inclusions (liquid or vapor). These are common in all samples and are formed either as primary isolated inclusions or as secondary inclusions as trails along annealed fractures in the grain. Type 3 fluid inclusions are three-phase (liquid + vapor + solid) inclusions. Type 3 inclusions are rare and are observed as isolated inclusions or in a cluster with other types (i.e., Types 1 and 2). The predominant population throughout the different units sampled is two-phase (liquid + vapor) aqueous fluid inclusions (i.e., Type 1). The temperature of homogenization (TH) bivariate plots for Type 1 inclusions shows dominance throughout the hole of low- to medium-salinity fluids with minimum trapping temperatures between 150° and 400°C.

Sandstone and siltstone beds overlying conglomerate at DSDP Hole 59-439

Massive sandstone and siltstone beds with many shallow-water megafossils overlie acidic volcanic conglomerates at DSDP Site 439. Smear-slides, thin sections from coarse fractions, and heavy minerals of the sandstone and siltstone beds were analyzed. The sandstones and siltstones are very rich in lithic fragments and are classified as lithic arenite and (or) lithic wacke. Hornblende and clinopyroxene are abundant, and zircon is present in most of the examined samples. The proportions of sandstone, chert, and volcanic rock in the coarse fraction are variable, but fragments of clastic rocks and cherts are predominant. Plagioclase crystals of volcanic-rock origin, such as highly zoned plagioclase and very fine, euhedral, lath-shaped plagioclase, are frequently observed. Metamorphic-rock fragments and metamorphic minerals are also observed. Thus, the provenance of the sandstone and siltstone beds appears to have been a slightly mature island arc, the Oyashio ancient landmass, consisting of clastic sediments and metamorphic and volcanic rocks.

Conglomerate and sandstone petrography at DSDP Hole 58-445

Conglomerates and sandstones in lithologic unit V at DSDP Site 445 comprise lithic clasts, detrital minerals, bioclasts, and authigenic minerals. The lithic clasts are dominantly plagioclase-phyric basalt and microdolerite, followed by plagioclase-clinopyroxene-phyric basalt, aphyric basalt, chert, and limestone. A small amount of hornblende schist occurs. Detrital minerals are dominantly plagioclase, augite, titaniferous augite, olivine, green to pale-brown hornblende, and dark-brown hornblende, with subordinate chromian spinel, epidote, ilmenite, and magnetite, and minor amounts of diopside, enstatite, actinolite, and aegirine-augite. Bioclasts are Nummulites boninensis, Asterocyclina sp. cf. A. penuria, and some other larger foraminifers. Correlation of cored and dredged samples indicates that the Daito Ridge is mainly composed of igneous, metamorphic, ultramafic, and sedimentary rocks. The igneous rocks are mafic (probably tholeiitic) and alkalic. The metamorphic rocks are hornblende schist, tremolite schist, and diopside-chlorite schist. The ultramafic rocks are alpinetype peridotites. Mineralogical data suggest that there were two metamorphic events in the Daito Ridge. The older one was intermediate- to high-pressure metamorphism. The younger one was contact metamorphism caused by a Paleocene volcanic event, possibly related to the beginning of spreading of the west Philippine Basin. The ultramafic rocks suffered from the same contact metamorphism. During the Eocene, exposed volcanic and metamorphic rocks on the uplifted Daito Ridge may have supplied pebble clasts to the surrounding coast and shallow sea bottom. The steep slope offshore may have caused frequent slumping and transportation of the pebble clasts and shallow-water benthic organisms into deeper water, forming the conglomerates and sandstones treated here.
