A sample from Site 918 (Section 152-918D-108R-2) shows the melting order low-Ca pyroxene (1153 degrees C), augite (1182 degrees C), olivine (1192 degrees C), and plagioclase (1192 degrees C). A sample from Site 989 (Section 163-989B-10R-7) melts in the order of low-Ca pyroxene (1113 degrees C), augite (1167 degrees C), plagioclase (1177 degrees C), and olivine (1184 degrees C). In particular, the relatively early appearance of low-Ca pyroxene distinguishes the melting relations for the oceanic succession from those observed for the basaltic continental succession at Site 917. A basaltic andesite flow from the Middle Series at Site 917 (Section 152-917A-27R-4) shows the melting order of low-Ca pyroxene (1142 degrees C), plagioclase (1173 degrees C), and olivine (1173 degrees C). This melting order is difficult to reconcile with the observed large compositional variations in SiO (sub 2) and FeO for the Middle Series, which imply early magnetite fractionation. Major element considerations and rare-earth element modeling of the dacites of the Middle Series suggest that they formed by low extent of melting (<20%) of continental hydrated gabbroic or mafic amphibolite at pressures <8 kbar. These crustally derived melts represent possible contaminants of basaltic magmas of the Lower and Middle Series at Site 917.completedGeochemistry of rocks, soils, and sedimentsIgneous and metamorphic petrologyandesitesArctic regionAtlantic OceanbasaltsCenozoiccontinental margindacitesEast GreenlandgenesisgeochemistryGreenlandigneous rocksLeg 152low pressurelower Tertiarymagmatismmajor elementsmeltingmetalsmineral compositionNorth AtlanticOcean Drilling Programocean floorsODP Site 917ODP Site 918phase equilibriapressurerare earthsSouth GreenlandTertiaryvolcanic rocksurn:org.iodp:exp:152
