Abstract:
In this report, I present trace element data for basement samples at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1256. The samples analyzed represent a subset of the group ("pool") samples from ODP Leg 206, and these trace element data are part of a more comprehensive data suite for the same samples, with analyses of stable and radiogenic isotopes (e.g., Sr, Li, and O) in progress or recently completed that will be presented elsewhere. The trace element analyses were performed in the GeoAnalytical Lab at Washington State University. The following elements were analyzed: La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Ba, Th, Nb, Y, Hf, Ta, U, Pb, Rb, Cs, Sr, Sc, and Zr. Trace element data indicate that the igneous basement at Site 1256 is geochemically normal midocean-ridge basalt. A massive ponded flow sampled in both Holes 1256C and 1256D is distinguished by higher abundances of rare earth elements (REE) and most of the other trace elements analyzed. One interval of highly altered basalt has significantly higher concentrations of Cs, Rb, and Ba and lower concentrations of Sr, Pb, Zr, Hf, Sc, and most REE than the samples of background alteration or halos. No correlation is obvious between trace element abundance and macroscopic type of alteration within the background alteration or halos.
