Relatively thick (up to 15 m) hydrothermal deposits from the southern flank of the Galapagos spreading center were drilled on a crust of about 0.62 myr old (magnetic age), during Leg 54 of the "Glomar Challenger" in the central Eastern Pacific Ocean. A stratigraphic sequence of ferrobasalt, pelagic oozes, and hydrothermal deposits of green clay-rich material and Fe-Mn concretions were recovered. The green clay-rich material (Fe-Si type of smectite) is also found interlayered between the pelagic ooze and filling veins, veinlets and vesicles in the drilled basement rocks. The low transitional metal content (Cu < 150 ppm). Ni < 100 ppm and Co < 200 ppm) and the nature of the green clay-rich material from the Galapagos deposits make them comparable to... |
