Pollen and spore counts, influx rates and concentrations at DSDP Hole 64-480
Preliminary analyses of 56 samples from the upper 49 meters of Hole 480 (Cores 1-11) show marked changes in pollen frequencies and concentrations. The largely varved cores (1,... -
Descriptions, isotopes and minerals of sediments at DSDP Leg 64 Holes
Mineralogical and oxygen isotopic analyses of samples from Deep Sea Drilling Project Sites 477, 481, and 477 in the Guaymas Basin indicate the existence of two distinct... -
Mineralogy and geochemistry at DSDP Leg 64 Holes
At DSDP Site 477, late Quaternary diatomaceous muds and delta-derived silty-sand turbidites at 2000 meters water depth have been extensively and progressively altered by a... -
Organic geochemistry of interstitial waters at DSDP Holes 64-474 and 64-479
Studies of the nature and amount of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in pore-water solutions have been confined mostly to recent sediments (Henrichs and Farrington, 1979; Krom and... -
Microscopic, elemental analysis, total organic carbon and Rock-Eval pyrolysis...
Geochemical analyses were carried out on Quaternary sediments from cores at Sites 479 and 480. The amount of organic matter indicates that these sediments have good to very good... -
Petroleum-generating potential of sediments at DSDP Leg 64 Holes
Sediments from the Gulf of California contain sufficient amounts of thermally reactive organic matter to be considered fair-to-good potential petroleum source rocks. While... -
Organic facies and hydrocarbon potential at DSDP Leg 64 Holes
The sediments from the Gulf of California are potentially good sources for oil and gas. They are rich in organic carbon (av. = 1.9%). Sediments from the margins of the Gulf are... -
Geochemical and optical study of organic matter in some Pleistocene and Plioc...
Pleisto-Pliocene hemipelagic and diatomaceous mud was recovered from Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Sites 474 through 481 in the Gulf of California. The organic matter is... -
Organic geochemical studies of DSDP Leg 64 Holes
Twenty-six core samples from Leg 64, Holes 474, 474A, 477, 478, 479, and 481A in the Gulf of California, were provided by the Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth... -
Geochemistry of interstitial gases in sedimentary deposits at DSDP Leg 64 Holes
We analyzed interstitial gases from holes at Sites 474, 477, 478, 479, and 481 in the Gulf of California, using gas chromatography and stable isotope mass spectrometry to... -
C1-C8 hydrocarbons in DSDP Leg 64 Holes sediments
Sediments from the Baja California Continental Margin Transect - Sites 474 and 476 - showed small amounts of C2-C8 hydrocarbons and functionalized compounds (alkenes) typical of... -
Methanogenic activity in sediments from DSDP Leg 64 Holes
We detected methanogenic bacterial activity in 6 of 12 sediment samples from Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) locations in the Gulf of California.When samples were incubated... -
Various ratios of C1-C5 hydrocarbons, gas composition and computed temperatur...
I have evaluated shipboard data and preliminary interpretations related to organic geochemistry in light of additional shore-based analyses. Data on interstitial gas, the C/N... -
Chemical composition and elemental oxide ratios to AI2O3 of bulk solids at DS...
Analyses of sediments from Leg 64 sites reveal a diverse and in one case unique geochemistry. Sites are characterized by high heat flow along an active, divergent plate... -
Chemistry of interstitial waters and sediments at DSDP Leg 64 Holes
Studies of interstitial waters obtained from DSDP Leg 64 drill sites in the Gulf of California have revealed information both on early diagenetic processes in the sediments... -
Magnetic properties and incompatible element geochemistry of some igneous roc...
I received five unoriented samples of igneous rocks from four Sites of Leg 64 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). I have measured several magnetic properties, alkalis (K,... -
Geochemistry, petrography and least-squares fractionation at DSDP Leg 64 Holes
Major-element, trace-element, and mineralogic data from basalts drilled during Leg 64 indicate that a wide spectrum of N-type MORB have been erupted in the Gulf of California.... -
Diagenetic dolomite formation in Quaternary anoxic diatomaceous muds at DSDP ...
During drilling in the Gulf of California, diagenetic carbonate rocks were recovered at 7 out of 8 sites. These are primarily dolomites which record 13C isotopic evidence of the... -
Grain-size distribution and Folk's statistics at DSDP Leg 64 Holes
Grain size of 139 unconsolidated sediment samples from seven DSDP sites in the Guaymas Basin and the southeastern tip of the Baja California Peninsula was determined by sieve... -
Geochemistry at DSDP Legs 64 and 65 Holes
Evidence for submarine hydrothermal activity along oceanic spreading centers has been accumulated from a large and diverse body of geochemical and geophysical data (e.g.,...
