Abstract:
At all DSDP Leg 56 drilling sites, exotic pebbles occur commonly, throughout the cores. Chips of carbonate nodules occur only at Site 434 on the lower inner trench wall. Both exotic pebbles and carbonate nodule chips sometimes tend to be concentrated at particular levels of cores.
Exotic pebbles are generally well rounded and consist of various rock types, such as dacite, andesite, basalt, tuff, gabbro, granodiorite, metaquartzite, biotite hornfels, lithic wacke, mudstone, etc., of which dacite occurs commonly at all the sites. Almost all pebbles at Site 436 and most at Sites 434 and 435 may have been rafted by ice. Some at the latter sites may have been derived by down-slope slumping.
Carbonate nodules consist of microcrystalline dolomite, manganoan calcite, and siderite; CaCO3 content ranges from 22 to 65 per cent. They are also generally characterized by a high content of P2O5. The nodules are commonly rich in diatom remains, some of which indicate that the nodules are autochthonous. Some nodules contain abundant glass shards, with a modal refractive index of 1.499, almost identical to shards in the surrounding mud and ooze. These facts suggest that the carbonate nodules may have been formed diagenetically, in situ. This may throw light on problems of the formation of carbonate nodules in ancient "geosynclinal" sediments. It is also very important to point out that these carbonate nodules were formed within sediment deposited well below the CCD.
