Abstract:
Detailed major- and trace-element chemistry is presented for 41 sediment samples from DSDP Site-223 borehole cores. A marked change in chemical (and mineralogical) character is shown at the end of the Early Miocene Epoch which relates to tectonic events and associated changes in sedimentary regime. Enrichment in the contents of such elements as Mg, Cr and Ni compared with average values for fine-grained sediments occurs throughout the sequence and is particularly marked in the upper group of samples. A basic-ultrabasic provenance is suggested - the Oman ophiolites.
Leaching with combined acid-reducing agent indicated typical lithogenous-character ordering for the elements and emphasised the enrichment of Mg, Cr, Ni (and Li, Cu, Zn, Pb, Fe and Ti) over values for near-shore muds and terrigenous material.
Factor analysis on the bulk chemical data identifies the main lithogenous and biogenous components, subdividing the latter. It separates the upper and lower group of chemically dissimilar sediments and delineates a Mn-hydroxide phase. It also shows the essentially independent roles of Na, Ba and P.
