Geochemistry of Neogene sediments of ODP Hole 115-711A

Pelagic sedimentation in the northwest Indian Ocean has been studied using sediments from Hole 711A (the section from 0 to 70.5 mbsf, 0-22 Ma), a deep site (4428 m) drilled during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 115. The clay fraction of the sediments represents poorly developed pelagic deposits with considerably lower contents of Mn, Ba, Cu, Ni, Cr, and Zn than is typical for well-oxidized pelagic sediments formed far from the continents (e.g., in the central Indian or Pacific oceans). Geochemical provenance models, representing conservative mixing models with terrigenous, exhalative-volcanic, and biogenous matter as the only inputs, explain most of the compositional variations in the sediments. The models show that terrigenous matter accounts for about 96%-100% of all SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, and Zr; about 73%-85% of all Fe2O3, V, and Ni; and about 40%-60% of the Cu and Zn abundances. Exhalative-volcanic matter delivers a large fra tion of Mn (78%-85%), some Fe (15%-219/o), and possibly some Cu (38%-51%). Biogenous deposition is generally of restricted significance; at most 6%-35% of all Cu and Zn may derive from biogenic matter. The exhalative-volcanic matter is slightly more abundant in the oldest deposits, reflecting a plate tectonic drift away from the volcanic Carlsberg Ridge. The Al/Ti ratio reveals that silicic crustal matter plays a somewhat larger role in the upper and lower part of the section studied, whereas the basaltic input is slightly higher in the intermediate levels (age 5-15 m.y.). The sediment abundances of Ba generally exceed those predicted by the models, an anomalous behavior also observed in equatorial Pacific sediments. This is possibly caused by poor knowledge of the input components. Several changes in accumulation rates seem to correlate with climatic changes (onset of monsoon-driven upwellings and sea-level regressions of about 50-100 m at 10, 15-16, and 20-21 Ma). A number of constituents show higher accumulation rates at or shortly after these regressions, suggesting an accelerated removal of fines from shallow oceanic areas. Furthermore, the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio shows a small increase in sediments younger than 10 Ma, implying an increase in biological productivity, particularly after the onset of monsoon-driven upwelling in the northwest Indian Ocean. This trend is paralleled by a general increase in the accumulation rates of Ba and CaCO3. However, these accumulation rates are generally significantly lower than under the biological high-productivity zone in the equatorial Pacific. The onset of these upwelling systems about 10 Ma is probably related to the closing of the gap between India and the main Asiatic continent, preventing free circulation around the Indian subcontinent.
