Geochemistry of ocean floor and forearc serpentinites
We provide new insights into the geochemistry of serpentinites from mid-ocean ridges (Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Hess Deep), passive margins (Iberia Abyssal Plain and Newfoundland)... -
Dissolved lithium and silicon through time in microbial dissolution experimen...
Using peridotite drilled during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 209, a series of enrichment cultures were initiated on board the ship to stimulate microbially enhanced dissolution of... -
Geochemical composition of olivine, spinel and amphibole in ODP Hole 209-1271B
Dunite and gabbroic materials recovered from Hole 1271B, Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 209, were examined for mineral chemistry to understand melt flow and melt-mantle... -
Composition of sulfide minerals of ODP Hole 209-1268A
This paper presents sulfide mineral occurrence, abundance, and composition in samples from hydrothermally altered peridotite and gabbro recovered during Ocean Drilling Program... -
Geochemistry of primary and secondary mineral phases in ODP Leg 209 sediments
Primary and secondary mineral phases from Holes 1268A (11 samples), 1272A (9 samples), and 1274A (12 samples) were analyzed by electron microprobe in Bonn and Cologne (Germany).... -
Chemistry of minerals from amphibole-chlorite veins of ODP Site 209-1270
We examined small-scale shear zones in drillcore samples of abyssal peridotites from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. These shear zones are associated with veins consisting of chlorite +... -
Trace element geochemistry of zircons frim in situ ocean lithoshere
We characterize the textural and geochemical features of ocean crustal zircon recovered from plagiogranite, evolved gabbro, and metamorphosed ultramafic host-rocks collected... -
Stable oxygen isotope ratios in zircons from oceanic crust
Lower ocean crust is primarily gabbroic, although 1-2% felsic igneous rocks that are referred to collectively as plagiogranites occur locally. Recent experimental evidence... -
Whole-rock geochemical analyses of serpentinized harzburgites from ODP Site 2...
Small-scale shear zones are present in drillcore samples of abyssal peridotites from the Mid-Atlantic ridge at 15°20'N (Ocean Drilling Program Leg 209). The shear zones act as... -
Chemical and isotopic composition of rocks and minerals at ODP Site 209-1275
This paper reports results of an investigation of a representative collection of samples recovered by deep-sea drilling from the oceanic basement 10 miles west of the rift... -
Chemical composition of mineral phases of serpentinized and steatized peridot...
Serpentinization of abyssal peridotites is known to produce extremely reducing conditions as a result of dihydrogen (H2,aq) release upon oxidation of ferrous iron in primary... -
Oxygen and sulfur isotopes of peridotite and gabbro from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Whole rock sulfur and oxygen isotope compositions of altered peridotites and gabbros from near the 15°20'N Fracture Zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge were analyzed to investigate... -
Stable oxygen, hydrogene and chlorine isotopes of mid-Atlantic abyssal perido...
Serpentinized abyssal peridotites sampled by the Ocean Drilling Program Leg 209 along the mid-Atlantic Ridge near the 15°20'N Fracture Zone have been analyzed for oxygen,... -
Trace element contents in zircons from oceanic crust
We present newly acquired trace element compositions for more than 300 zircon grains in 36 gabbros formed at the slow-spreading Mid-Atlantic and Southwest Indian Ridges. Rare... -
Isotopic composition of carbonates from the Logachev Hydrothermal Field, MAR ...
We investigate the Logatchev Hydrothermal Field at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 14°45' N to constrain the calcium isotope hydrothermal flux into the ocean. During the transformation... -
Geochemisty and Re-Os isotope ratios of peridotites from ODP Hole 209-1274A f...
Comprehensive major-, trace-element and rhenium-osmium (Re-Os) isotope data are presented for abyssal peridotites from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 209, in the North... -
Geochemistry of highly depleted peridotites of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
During ODP Leg 209, a magma-starved area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) was drilled in the vicinity of the Fifteen-Twenty Fracture Zone (FZ) that offsets one of the slowest... -
Chemical and mineral compositions of altered peridotites from ODP Leg 209
Abyssal peridotite from the 15°20'N area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge show complex geochemical variations among the different sites drilled during ODP Leg 209. Major element... -
