15. X-RAY MINERALOGY STUDIES—LEG 16 1 Ivar Zemmels, University of California, Riverside, California METHODS Semiquantiative determinations of mineral composi- tion in bulk samples, 2-20μ and <2μ fractions from Leg 16 have been performed according to the methods de- scribed in the reports of Legs 1 and 2 and in the Initial Reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, Volume IV, Ap- pendix III. The mineral analyses of the 2-20μ and <2μ fractions were performed on CaCO 3 -free residues. Drilling mud with barite was pumped between drilling Cores 15 and 16 in Hole 163. No contamination is evident. The results are presented in Tables 1 to 8 and in Figures 1 to 24. A summary of the samples submitted for X-ray diffrac- tion analysis appears in Table 9. No samples were submit- ted for X-ray diffraction analysis from DSDP 156. The sediment age, lithologic units, and nomenclature of sedi- ment types used in Figures 1 to 24 and throughout the text of this report are from the data of the Deep Sea Drilling Project hole summaries of Leg 16. RESULTS DSDP 155 DSDP 155 is located in a small trough on the east flank of the Coiba Ridge. Four Late and Middle Miocene sediment types were described at this site: (1) mottled nannoplankton marl, (2) waxy claystone, (3) mottled marly clay and marl, and (4) nannoplankton foraminiferal chalk. The first three types are interbedded, but each dominates a portion of the section. Each sample submitted for X-ray diffraction analysis was examined and then as- signed to one of the above sediment types by matching the samples with the sediment description in the Leg 16 hole summaries. The numbers appearing in Figures 1, 2, and 3 refer to these sediment types. Except for the calcite content (Figures 1,2, 3), there are few mineralogical differences between the samples of sedi- ment types 1, 2, and 3. The noncalcareous portion is gen- erally extremely rich in montomorillonite. Mica is present only occasionally and in small amounts. A high degree of diagenetic activity is evidenced by the frequent presence of clinoptilolite, pyrite, possibly K-feldspar, and occa- sional occurrences of cristobalite and barite. Sediment type 4 is uniformly high in calcite. As above, montmorillonite is the predominant clay mineral. This sediment does not contain clinoptilolite or Plagioclase. Pyrite, barite, and K-feldspar, however, are present throughout. 'Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, University of Cali- fornia, Riverside, Contribution No. 72-18. DSDP 157 DSDP 157 is located on the south flank of Carnegie Ridge, approximately 700 km east of the Galapagos Is- lands. The section consists of diatomaceous nannofossil chalk ooze at the top which grades to a slightly siliceous chalk at the base. Consolidation increases markedly below 250 meters but is not accompanied by any detectable minera- logic changes. The age of the sediments is Holocene to Late Miocene. The entire section is highly calcareous (Figure 4). The major noncalcareous minerals are quartz and Plagioclase; mica occurs infrequently and only in small amounts. As at DSDP 155, montmorillonite is the predominant clay mineral in the <2μ fraction. A small amount of kaolinite is present in the <2μ fraction in the upper portion of the section and roughly coincides with the beginning of the Pleistocene (Figure 6). Barite and pyrite are prominent in the 2-20μ fraction and increase in concentration with depth (Figure 5). The amorphous scattering value is ex- tremely high in the decalcified fractions due to a high content of opaline skeletal detritus. DSDP 158 DSDP 158 is located in an equidimensional basin, ap- proximately 25 km in diameter, on the crest of the Cocos Ridge. A complete section of nannofossil chalk and chalk ooze ranging in age from Pleistocene to Middle Miocene was recovered (Figure 7). The top 30 meters of this section contain significant quantities of volcanic ash and terrigenous detritus. Cli- noptilolite, amphibole, and talc found in the 2-20μ frac- tion in this interval are probably related to the volcanic materials (Figure 8). An unusual occurrence of mont- morillonite is seen in the 2-20μ fraction in the top 30 meters of the section and may be the result of occlusion of the montmorillonite in 2-20μ size grade material. A marked increase in the degree of induration of the chalk ooze occurs between 135 and 171 meters. Some mineralogic differences are associated with the transition from chalk ooze to chalk. The unindurated sediment above this horizon contains some mica and chlorite in the 2-20μ fraction, whereas the indurated sediment below is barren of these minerals. Also, kaolinite in the <2μ fraction is more abundant and occurs more frequently in the unconcolidated sediments above (Figure 9). Barite is more common in the lower part of the section. Pyrite concentration generally increases with depth. DSDP 159 The site is located midway between the Clipperton and Clarion fracture zones and about 2000 km west of the crest of the East Pacific Rise. 529

    The section consists of a brown noncalcareous radi-olarian clay which overlies an interbedded sequence ofalternating clay, calcareous clay, and marl ooze. The marlooze is dominant at the base of the section.

    There are very few mineralogical differences betweenthe noncalcareous portions of the several sediment types.Quartz and mica are the predominant lithogenous miner-als throughout the section. Montmorillonite is the mostabundant mineral in the

  • A short interval of cherty, brown zeolitic clay is charac-terized by a very large concentration of montmorillonite,phillipsite, and clinoptilolite, and a large variety of otherminerals in minor quantities. These are quartz, mica,Plagioclase, barite, palygorskite, and chlorite.

    The lowermost lithologic unit is a thick, highly uni-form, mottled nannofossil chalk of Cretaceous age. Chertoccurs intermittently throughout the unit. The uniformityin sediment type is reflected by the uniformity of themineralogy of this unit, which, however, is very unusualfor a pelagic deposit. Quartz is prevalent, as in most ma-rine sediments, but mica occurs in somewhat larger con-centrations than in most pelagic sediments of theequatorial Pacific. Moreover, the mica content does notcorrelate with the quartz content, implying that the micain this unit is not of detrital origin. Plagioclase, which inmost marine sediments occurs in all size grades, is absentfrom the
