Abstract:
40Ar/39Ar incremental heating experiments on three samples dredged from Jingu Seamount indicate that Jingu is 55.4 + or - 0.9 m.y. old, older than the Hawaiian-Emperor bend and younger than the two dated Emperor Seamounts to the north. Major-oxide chemistry and petrography show that the samples are similar to hawaiites and mugearites from the Hawaiian Islands. By analogy with Hawaiian alkalic volcanic rocks, groundmass plagioclase compositions (An40-47) indicate that the three Jingu samples are probably mugearites. These results suggest that Jingu is a Hawaiian-type volcano and that the Emperor volcanoes become progressively older from south to north, as predicted by the hot-spot hypothesis.
