Quantitative digital image analysis dataset of macroscopic dilation and hydrothermal vein area fractions in talc-rich metasomatites from the Onnuri Oceanic Core Complex, Central Indian Ridge

DOI

Quantitative structural data containing vein area fractions (AA) and calculated macroscopic bulk volume changes (ΔV) were obtained from rock specimens collected during the 2022 R/V ISABU expedition at the Onnuri Oceanic Core Complex (11°25′S, Central Indian Ridge). The aim was to physically constrain and quantify the net volumetric dilation associated with intense, non-deformational static silica metasomatism at mafic–ultramafic interfaces. Hand specimen photographs of representative talc-rich metasomatites were processed using ImageJ software (v.1.53k). Thicker V1 vein boundaries were manually traced, and images were converted to 8-bit grayscale for binary threshold segmentation to isolate combined hydrothermal vein networks (V1 + V2) from the host rock matrix. Bulk volume changes were subsequently computed using the Delesse area-to-volume equivalence principle.
