Concentration of C2-C6 hydrocarbon gases in dry sediments of ODP Sites 180-1109 and 180-1115

Low molecular weight hydrocarbon (LMWH) distributions were examined in sediments from Sites 1109 and 1115 in the western Woodlark Basin using purge-trap thermal adsorption/desorption gas analysis. A number of different hydrocarbon components >C1, which were not detected during shipboard gas analysis, were detected at both sites using the purge-trap procedure. Concentrations of ethane, propane, and butane remained relatively low (<100 pmol/g) throughout Site 1109 and had no consistent trend with depth. In contrast, the longer-chain components increased in concentration with depth. Hexane concentrations rose to 716 pmol/g at the base of the site with a concomitant increase in both 2-methyl- and 3-methylpentane. At Site 1115, concentrations of ethane, propane, butane, and isobutylene + 1-butene remained low (<60 pmol/g) throughout the site and again had no consistent trend with depth. 2-Methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, and hexane concentrations had a subsurface maximum that coincided with sediments containing abundant plant-rich material. The LMWH downhole profiles plus low in situ temperatures suggest that the LMWH components were formed in situ by low-temperature biological processes. Purge-trap analysis has indicated the presence of some unexpected deep low-temperature bacterial reactions, which demonstrates that further analysis of LMWH may provide valuable information at future Ocean Drilling Program sites.

Petrography and geochemistry of lithic clasts in sediments obtained from ODP Leg 180 sites

This report includes the petrographic description and reviews the distribution of lithic clasts in sediments drilled during Leg 180 in the Woodlark Basin (southwest Pacific). The lithic clasts include (1) metamorphic rocks; (2) granites; (3) serpentinites, gabbros, dolerites, and basalts likely derived from the Papuan ophiolite belt; (4) rare alkaline volcanites reworked in middle Miocene sediments; (5) medium- to high-K calc-alkaline island arc volcanites, in part as reworked clasts, and explosive products deposited by fallout or reworked by turbiditic currents; and (6) rare sedimentary fragments. At the footwall sites the clast assemblage evidences the association of dolerites and evolved gabbroic rocks; the serpentinite likely pertaining to the same ophiolitic complex are likely derived from onland outcrops and transported by means of turbidity currents. On the whole, extensional tectonics active at least since the middle Pliocene can be inferred. The calc-alkaline volcanism is in continuity with the arc-related products from the Papua Peninsula and D'Entrecasteaux Islands and with the latest volcanics of the Miocene Trobrian arc. However, the medium- to high-K and shoshonitic products do not display a significant temporal evolution within the stratigraphic setting. Lava clasts, volcanogenic grains, and glass shards are associated with turbidity currents, whereas in the Pliocene of northern margin the increasing frequency of tephra (glass shards and vesicular silicic fragments) suggests more explosive activity and increasing contribution to the sediments from aerial fallout materials. Evidence of localized alkalic volcanism of presumable early to middle Miocene age is a new finding. It could represent a rift phase earlier than or coeval to the first opening of the Woodlark Basin or, less probably, could derive from depositional trajectories diverted from an adjacent basin.

Geochemistry and mineralogy of interstitial waters and clays in sediments of ODP Leg 180 sites

Oxygen and strontium isotopes and Rb and Ba were determined in interstitial water (IW) collected from Sites 1109, 1115, and 1118 drilled on the Woodlark Rise during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 180. The trace element and mineralogical composition of the clay fraction of sediments isolated from the squeeze cakes corresponding to IW samples from Site 1109 was also determined.
