Abstract:
Whole-rock basalt samples from the upper half of Deep Sea Drilling Project Hole 504B have oxygen-isotope compositions typical of mid-ocean-ridge basalts which have experienced a moderate degree of low-temperature alteration by sea water. By contrast, d18O values in the lower half of the hole correspond to basalts which have experienced almost no detectable oxygen-isotope alteration. These observations suggest that the overall water/rock ratio was lower in the lower half of the drilled crust. A correlation between d18O values and 87Sr/86Sr ratios suggests that the water/rock ratio, rather than temperature variation, was the main factor determining basalt d18O values. Hydrogen-isotope data appear to be consistent with a low water/rock ratio in the lower part of the crust.
