Abstract:
Drilling a complete deep crustal section has been a primary yet elusive goal since the inception of scientific ocean drilling. In situ ocean crustal sections would contribute enormously to our understanding of the formation and subsequent evolution of the ocean crust, in particular the interplay between magmatic, hydrothermal, and tectonic processes. Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 206 was the first of a multileg project to drill an in situ crustal section that penetrated the gabbroic rocks of the Cocos plate (6°44.2'N, 91°56.1'W), which formed ~15 m.y. ago on the East Pacific Rise during a period of superfast spreading (>200 mm/yr) (Wilson, Teagle, Acton, et al., 2003, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.206.2003).
During Leg 206, the upper 500 m of basement was cored in Holes 1256C and 1256D with moderate to high recovery rates. The igneous rocks recovered are predominantly thin (10 cm to 3 m) basalt flows separated by chilled margins. There are also several massive flows (>3 m thick), although their abundance decreases with depth in Hole 1256D, as well as minor pillow basalts, hyaloclastites, and rare dikes. The lavas have been slightly (<10%) altered by low-temperature hydrothermal fluids, which resulted in pervasive dark gray background alteration and precipitation of saponite, pyrite, silica, celadonite, and calcium carbonate veins.
Here we present a geochemical analysis of the CaCO3 recovered from cores. The compositions of ridge flank fluids within superfast spreading crust will be determined from these data, following the approach of Hart et al. (1994, doi:10.1029/93JB02035), Yatabe et al. (2000, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.168.003.2000), and Coggon et al. (2004, doi:10.1016/S0012-821X(03)00697-6).
