| Data from rock-dredging have often been used to infer that oceanic fracture zones provide a 'window' into layers of the oceanic crust lying at a depth below the surface that is approximately equivalent to the vertical offset of the fracture zone, and thus permit the reconstruction of a crustal stratigraphy for the whole of acoustic layer 2 (commonly considered to have an average thickness of ~2 km) and in some interpretations for the upper part of layer 3. Alternatively, it has been suggested that fracture zones are preferential sites of serpentinite mega-dykes differing in composition from layer 3 but containing inclusions of the third layer. The published data indicate that basalts and basaltic rubble are abundant in fracture zones and on analysis do not... |
