Paleomagnetic of basalts from ODP Site 145-883 on Detroit Seamount

Paleomagnetic data were measured from basaltic flows cored by the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) at Site 883 on the summit of Detroit Seamount, located in the northernmost Emperor seamounts. These data are important because they reflect the paleolatitude of Hawaiian volcanism for the Late Cretaceous and bear upon geodynamic models of hotspot drift. A total of 143 samples were measured, from cores acquired at two ~20-30 m apart. Most samples gave apparently reliable magnetic directions that were analyzed in a tiered fashion to compute a composite inclination vs. depth curve. One hole gave 13 distinct inclination groups, the other 10, and the two were combined into nine groups thought to represent independent measurements of paleofield direction. These data indicate normal magnetic polarity and give a mean inclination of 61.5+10.6°/-6.4° and paleolatitude of 42.8+13.2°/-7.6° (95% confidence limits). This paleolatitude is 6.2° higher than results from another ODP site (884) drilled on the lower flank of the same seamount. The difference is thought to result partly from an age difference (1-3 Myr) and partly from incomplete averaging of paleosecular variation at both drill sites. Together, the data from the two sites reinforce the conclusion that the northern Emperor seamounts were formed far north of the present-day hotspot latitude (~19.5°N) and suggest prior estimates of the amount and rate of southward drift may have been low. This analysis also illustrates uncertainties in determining paleolatitude from a small number of lava flow units from a single drill site.

When a mantle plume interacts with a mid-ocean ridge, both are noticeably affected. The mid-ocean ridge can display anomalously shallow bathymetry, excess volcanism, thickened crust, asymmetric sea-floor spreading and a plume component in the composition of the ridge basalts (Schilling, 1973, doi:10.1038/242565a0; Verma et al., 1983, doi:10.1038/306654a0; Ito and Lin, 1995, doi:10.1130/0091-7613(1995)023<0657:OSCHIC>2.3.CO;2; Müller et al., 1998, doi:10.1038/24850). The hotspot-related volcanism can be drawn closer to the ridge, and its geochemical composition can also be affected (Ito and Lin, 1995, doi:10.1130/0091-7613(1995)023<0657:OSCHIC>2.3.CO;2; White et al., 1993, doi:10.1029/93JB02018; Kincaid et al., 1995, doi:10.1038/376758a0; Kingsley and Schilling, 1998, doi:10.1029/98JB01496 ). Here we present Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic analyses of samples from the next-to-oldest seamount in the Hawaiian hotspot track, the Detroit seamount at 51° N, which show that, 81 Myr ago, the Hawaiian hotspot produced volcanism with an isotopic signature indistinguishable from mid-ocean ridge basalt. This composition is unprecedented in the known volcanism from the Hawaiian hotspot, but is consistent with the interpretation from plate reconstructions (Mammerickx and Sharman, 1988, doi:10.1029/JB093iB04p03009) that the hotspot was located close to a mid-ocean ridge about 80 Myr ago. As the rising mantle plume encountered the hot, low-viscosity asthenosphere and hot, thin lithosphere near the spreading centre, it appears to have entrained enough of the isotopically depleted upper mantle to overwhelm the chemical characteristics of the plume itself. The Hawaiian hotspot thus joins the growing list of hotspots that have interacted with a rift early in their history.

(Table T2) Remanent anomaly and Koenigsberger ratio of ODP holes

Magnetic field strength and magnetic susceptibility were logged with the geological high-resolution magnetic tool (GHMT) at three of the holes drilled during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 178 to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula. Polarity stratigraphies derived from the GHMT logs bear close resemblance to the polarities determined from core paleomagnetism at two of the holes and were used for magnetostratigraphic dating, especially in intervals where no core was recovered. Polarity is determined in the following way. First, the susceptibility log is used to determine the induced magnetization of the sediment. Then the background field, the field of the metal drill pipe, and the field anomaly of the sediment's induced magnetization are removed from the measured total field to leave the downhole anomaly of the sediment's remanent magnetization. The sign (positive or negative) of this anomaly gave a good polarity stratigraphy for Holes 1095B and 1096C, which are located in sediment drifts. A further step, correlation analysis, is based on the fact that in an interval of normal polarity sediment the remanent anomaly will correlate with the induced anomaly, whereas in reversed polarity sediment they will anticorrelate. The magnetite-rich, fine-grained sediments found in the two holes drilled into the sediment drift have a ratio of remanent to induced magnetization (the Koenigsberger ratio) of ~1. In contrast, the coarser-grained diamict sediments on the shelf have a Koenigsberger ratio of ~0.2, and extracting the remanent part of the downhole anomaly is much more difficult. By the comparison of core and log results, we can assess the viability of the GHMT polarities in detail, what proportion of the overprint in the cores is imparted by the coring process, and whether any paleointensity information is extractable from the GHMT logs.
