12. Velocities and Elastic Moduli of Volcanic and Sedimentary Rocks Recovered on Dsdp

چکیده
On Leg 25 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project five holes penetrated basement, and a total of approximately 12.7 meters of basalt were recovered. We have measured compressional and shear wave velocities to hydrostatic pressures of 6 kb in representative samples of basalt from each hole and a relatively high density limestone from Site 249. In addition, compressional wave velocities are reported for two sedimentary rocks recovered from Sites 246 and 249. The three basalts studied from Site 249 have intersertal textures with altered feldspar laths and groundmasses highly weathered to greenish yellow nontronite(?) and brown iddingsite. Weathering appears to decrease slightly with depth, and Sample 249-33-2, 126-129 cm is highly vesicular. Samples 239-21-1, 46-49 cm and 239-20-1, 125-128 cm are intersertal to felty textured basalts with some alteration of their groundmasses. Basalt Sample 240-7-1, 120-123 cm is similar to the basalts from Site 239 in both texture and alteration. Sample 245-19-1, 37-40 cm is a coarse-grained, relatively fresh basalt with an intergranular texture. Alteration is confined to pyroxenes in the groundmass. The two basalts from Site 248 have intersertal textures and contain large (up to 0.7 cm in length) feldspar and subordinate pyroxene phenocrysts. The deeper of the two samples (248-17-2, 122-125 cm) has less alteration and is slightly coarser grained than Sample 248-15-1, 35-38 cm. Sample 249-27-2, 133-136 cm is a slightly recrystallized biomicrite. Sample 249-28-2, 56-59 cm is a glauconitebearing mudstone, and Sample 246-10, CC (3 cm) is a volcanic sand cemented with carbonate.

20. Origin and Alteration of Volcanic Ash and Pelagic Brown Clay, Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 62, North-central Pacific
Volcanic ash was recovered from lower Aptian to Albian deposits from DSDP Sites 463, 465, and 466; pelagic clay of the upper Pleistocene to Upper Cretaceous was recovered mainly from Site 464, with minor amounts at Sites 465 and 466 (Figs. 1 and 2). We present X-ray-mineralogy data on pelagic clay and altered volcanic ash recovered from the four Leg 62 sites (Table 1; Fig. 1). In addition, two ...
متن کاملElastic Properties of Sedimentary Anisotropic Rocks
In multidisciplinary studies carried out in the Budare Oil Field of the Great Oficina Oil Field, there was difficulty matching well log synthetic seismograms with 2D and 3D seismic data. In addition, the seismically determined depths of reservoir horizons are greater than the well sonic log depths. To examine this discrepancy we conducted an experimental study of dynamic elastic parameters of t...

The submarine volcanic rocks of Totmaj volcano-sedimentary sequence, located at 25 Km southeast of Kashan city, have suffered extensive non-uniform propylitization. Based on field and petrographical studies, the volcanic rocks can be classified into three alteration zones: chlorite-epidote zone, epidote zone and hematite zone. The secondary hydrothermal minerals formed in the volcanic rocks inc...
متن کاملMonitoring temporal changes of seismic properties
Temporal changes of seismic properties, such as velocity, attenuation, anisotropy, and scattering properties, have been inferred by active methods for decades and more recently by passive methods. In particular, passive methods are capable of monitoring seismic properties because they do not require earthquakes but rely on continuously excited signals in the ocean, for example, a collection of ...
