| The Pacific phase of IPOD ocean crust drilling was initiated with Leg 54, the region targeted for study by the Ocean Crust Panel being survey area PT-4 (Figure 1) (and Plate 1 [in back pocket]) north of the Siqueiros fracture zone on the western flank of the East Pacific Rise (EPR). The original purpose of this leg was to establish a type section for fast-spreading, nonrifted crust by direct sampling with stratigraphic control. We anticipated that this section would serve, in part, as a standard of comparison for other type sections, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). [NOT CONTROLLED OCR] |

| Two distinct sedimentary facies produced by sea-floor hydrothermal activity were cored during Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 54. The first is equivalent to the typical basal iron- and manganese-rich, clayey mud recovered at many DSDP sites. It was sampled as a dispersed component throughout the cores taken in small sediment ponds in several sites within 120 km of the East Pacific Rise at 9°N. We infer that this component was originally deposited as iron hydroxides dispersed from high-temperature vents over the axial magma chamber of the East Pacific Rise. In the sediments, the iron hydroxides have reacted diagenetically with siliceous microfossil tests and detrital clays to form K- and Fe-rich clays with variable SiO(2)/Fe(2)O(3) and... |
