Abstract:
Bulk chemistry and trace elements data were measured in 72 samples, selected from 5 basement sections, which have been recovered by Leg 60 drilling (Sites 453, 454, 456, 458, and 459). According to analytical results a metagabbro- metabasalt breccia, deposited about 5 Ma at the westernmost flank of the Mariana Trough (Site 453), was derived from an island arc source. Basalts from the Mariana Trough (Sites 454 and 456) are similar in many respects to midoceanic ridge basalts (MORB). Yet rocks of unusual geochemistry, reflecting the possible influence of arc volcanism, were found among the pillow lavas at the easternmost trough (Site 456). The acoustic basement in the Mariana fore-arc region was formed by submarine eruptions of arc tholeiites (Sites 458 and 459) and peculiar high-MgO andesites related to the boninite suite.
