Abstract:
Compressional wave velocities and densities were measured for 6 basalt samples from ODP Hole 801B and 16 samples from ODP Hole 801C, a site that represents the first drilling of Jurassic-age crustal rocks in the Pacific basin. Incremental measurements, taken to a total pressure of 200 MPa, show a systematic decrease in velocity with increasing porosity and a related increase with increasing wet-bulk density. A comparison of the plot of porosity vs. compressional wave velocity with the theoretical equation from Wyllie et al. (1958) suggests this equation is inappropriate for oceanic basalts because of mineral alteration in high porosity samples. Also of interest is the dramatic change in velocity across a hydrothermal boundary. Basalts below this hydrothermal layer have a mean velocity of 6.05 km/s at 60 MPa while those above show a mean velocity of 4.55 km/s at 60 MPa. The low velocity values of the basalts above the hydrothermal deposit may be attributed to the higher porosity and composition observed in these rocks; the higher porosity is possibly the result of increased exposure to circulating seawater.
