Abstract:
Anhydrite occurs in veins in hydrothermally altered basalts recovered from Hole 504B during Leg 83 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project. Sulfur isotopic data indicate that the anhydrites formed from fluids with sulfur isotopic compositions similar to seawater sulfate. Anhydrite probably formed as a pulse of relatively unreacted seawater was heated when it entered a relatively hot hydrothermal system containing evolved fluids. Reheating and continued evolution of the system followed anhydrite deposition.
Preservation of anhydrite in Hole 504B was probably favored by the high temperatures and by the low permeability that resulted from the sealing of cracks with secondary minerals. Evidence also indicates that anhydrite was partly replaced by laumontite and prehnite at relatively high temperatures, and possibly by calcite at lower temperatures.

Hole 504B now extends over a kilometer into basement, nearly twice as far as any other DSDP hole, and it is the only DSDP hole to have clearly penetrated into the intrusive sheeted dikes that underlie the extrusive pillow lavas of the upper oceanic crust. At Hole 504B, Leg 83 continued an ongoing DSDP effort that began during Legs 68, 69, and 70 in 1979, and also included part of Leg 92 in 1983. 71 cores; 514 m cored; 0 m drilled; 21 % recovery
