Shipboard Scientific Party1
SITE DATA
Occupied: June 30-July 1, 1969.
Position: Crest of Shatsky Plateau:Latitude 32° 24.5'N.Longitude 158°01.3;E.
Water Depth: 2619 meters.
Hole 48.0: One core, total depth 84 meters in Mae-strichtian cherty chalk.
Hole 48.1: One core, total depth 49 meters in Mae-strichtian cherty chalk.
Hole 48.2: Three cores, total depth 72 meters in Mae-strichtian cherty chalk.
MAIN RESULTS
The Upper Miocene here rests unconformably on Mid-dle Maestrichtian.
This is the first record of Middle Maestrichtian inpelagic carbonate facies from the Northwest Pacific andsurrounding lands, a matter of paleontologic-biostrati-graphic importance.
BACKGROUND
Having been stopped by chert in the Maestrichtian atSite 47, a site was looked for which would give an ade-quate Cenozoic thickness for satisfactory spudding-in,yet promised to lead from this into an older part of thesection. Such a site, with a much-thinned sedimentarysequence, appeared only some 18 miles to the eastalong the Argo line (Chapter 5, Figure 1) and along theGlomar Challenger's own track. The location of Site 48is shown in Figure 1. Soundings in the area of Site 48are shown in Figure 2.
The holes at Site 48 were drilled in the moat surround-ing a knoll lying off to the side of the Argo and the

Glomar Challenger tracks, but visible as a side echo inthe latters' profiles (see Chapter 21). Moated knolls(Heezen and Johnson, 1963, 1969) have been recog-nized in various areas, and their origin has been attrib-uted to the acceleration of bottom currents around theobstructing knoll. The profiler record shows a markedthinning of the Upper Cretaceous-Cenozoic sequenceunder this moat, suggesting that the knoll and moathave been in existence throughout this time. Above all,the upper part of the Upper Cretaceous—which hadstopped us at Site 47—appeared to have been truncatedhere and drilling with the hope that the lower parts ofthe Upper Cretaceous might be less cherty and that theymight, therefore, penetrate much more deeply into thesedimentary sequence, drilling commenced.
OPERATIONS
Site 48 was occupied at 2000 hours on June 30, 1969.Hole 48.0 was spudded at 0200 hours July 1, and wasdrilled to 84 meters, at which depth chert was encoun-tered. A core was cut but not recovered.
A new hole (Hole 48.1) was spudded at 0530 hours,and met chert at 49 meters, where a core was cut incherty Maestrichtian chalk, and progress was halted.
A third attempt (Hole 48.2) was spudded at 0730 hours.Three cores were cut to a total depth of 72 meters incherty Maestrichtian chalk.
Stopped by chert, the site was abandoned at 1600hours, July 14.
NATURE OF THE SEDIMENTS
Hole 48.0
A single core attempted in this hole recovered only asmall amount of fluid outwash containing scatterednannofossils.
Hole 48.1
A single core from this hole recovered about 39 centi-meters of white to pale brown nannoplankton chalkooze in which nannofossils are abundant and clay min-erals common. Also present are small amounts of plank-tonic foraminifera, radiolarian tests, sponge spicules,unidentified calcareous shell fragments, and clear shardsof volcanic glass. A dark, friable manganese-iron oxidenodule occurs at the top of the core.

Hole 48.2
The three cores recovered in this hole between 51 and72 meters subbottom depth contain 23.80 meters ofnannoplankton chalk ooze that was highly disturbedduring coring.
The upper part of Core 1 (Sections 1 through the mid-dle o£ Section 6) consists of highly mottled (due todrilling disturbance) white to pale brown to light yel-lowish-brown nannoplankton chalk ooze with abundantnannofossils and common to abundant clay minerals;among the nannofossils, large and well-preserved dis-
coasters are particularly abundant. Radiolarian tests,well-preserved diatom frustules, sponge spicules, andplanktonic foraminifera are common to rare in this partof the core. Fragments of fresh and altered volcanicglass fragments usually occur in small amounts but arelocally abundant, as are silt-size grains of prismaticcalcite, probably mollusk shell fragments. Large, twin-ned, euhedral phillipsite crystals are a rare component.
Below about the middle of Section 6, Core 1, the sedi-ment changes to a white nannoplankton chalk ooze(Chapter 38) composed of abundant nannofossils,common planktonic foraminifera, and rare to abundantfragments of mollusk shells. All of Cores 2 and 3 arecomposed of this ooze which differs from that above inthe following respects: (1) there are no siliceous micro-fossils, and little if any volcanic material;(2) discoasters,common in the sediment above, are very rare and thenannofossils are dominantly coccoliths. This changeoccurs at about the position of the unconformity be-tween Upper Miocene and Upper Cretaceous sediments.
Large pieces of Inoceramus shells occur in Sections 4,5, and 6 of Core 2, and angular fragments of vitreousbrown chert are present near the middle of Section 4,Core 2.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
These physical properties do not precisely representtrue conditions within the sea floor as the sedimentsamples were disturbed during coring operations.

Natural Gamma Radiation
Upper Tertiary and Cretaceous white to pale brownnannoplankton chalk oozes were recovered from Hole48.2 from a depth of 51 to 69 meters. Natural gammaemissions ranged from zero to 600 counts/7.6-cm coresegment/1.25 minutes and averaged 200. The highergamma counts (300) were from Pliocene-Miocene marlyoozes with the lower counts (100) from the Cretaceouschalk oozes (see hole and core plots). This higher countis apparently related to the greater amount of clayminerals in the Tertiary sediment. Therefore, the un-conformable contact between the Upper Tertiary andCretaceous is marked by a fairly abrupt radiationchange. Gamma radiation versus depth usually variesdirectly with the variations of porosity, and indirectlywith wet-bulk density, sound velocity, thermal con-ductivity, and needle penetration.
Porosity, Wet-Bulk Density and Water Content
Porosities, wet-bulk densities, and water contents ofthe Teritary-Cretaceous pale brown to white nanno-plankton ooze, retrieved from 51 to 69 meters at Hole48.2, ranged from 50 to 90 per cent(?), 1.15(?) to
1.80 g/cc, and 31 to 48 per cent, respectively, withaverages of 63 per cent, 1.40 g/cc, and 41 per cent.The greater porosities averaged 67 per cent (1.38 g/cc)and occurred in the Pliocene-Miocene marly oozes (seehole and core plots). The Cretaceous nannoplanktonoozes had lower porosity averages of 61 per cent (1.45g/cc). A low porosity spike of 35 per cent was recordedwhere Inoceramus fragments occurred.
In general, the Upper Tertiary-Cretaceous unconformitywas marked by an apparent porosity decrease, whichappears to be a function of particle size. The Cretaceoussediments are coarser with more foraminiferal and shelldebris, while the Tertiary are composed of finer-grainedclayey sediments, which typically have higher porositiesas unconsolidated marine sediments. Porosity, in gen-eral, varied inversely with sound velocity, heat conduc-tivity, and the penetrometer values, and of coursedirectly to wet-bulk density.
Sound Velocity
Upper Tertiary and Cretaceous nannoplankton oozeswere cored at 51 to 69 meters from Hole 48.2. Sound
147
velocities through these sediments ranged from 1.48 to1.65 km/sec and averaged 1.53 km/sec. Sedimentsound velocities were less in the Tertiary marly oozes,with an average of 1.50 km/sec, and greater in theCretaceous nannoplankton oozes with an average of1.57 km/sec (see hole and core plots). This velocitychange appears to be a combined function of porosity-density and grain size distribution.
Sound velocity appeared to vary inversely to the pene-trometer and porosity values and directly with heatconductivity and wet-bulk density values. All of theseproperties abruptly changed at the Upper Tertiary-Cretaceous unconformity.
Heat Conductivity
Two heat conductivity values of 2.71 and 2.94 × I0"3
cal^C"1 cm"1 sec*1 were recorded in Upper Tertiarymarly ooze and Cretaceous nannoplankton ooze, respec-tively. When these values are plotted versus depththey exhibit a similar direct variation to wet-bulk den-sity, sound velocity and needle penetration, and asimilar inverse variation to porosity and the gammaradiation.
Penetrometer
At Hole 48.2, penetration measurements in Upper Ter-tiary and Cretaceous nannoplankton chalk oozes from51 to 7 meters in Hole 48.2 ranged from -4 X I0"1 mil-limeters to complete penetration to the core liner.
Penetrability, in general, was less in the Tertiary marlynannoplankton oozes (see hole and core plots). This maybe the result of greater plasticity of the clayey fractionin these marly chalk oozes compared to the finer Creta-ceous chalk oozes. The two penetrometer values plottedversus depth of recovery in the hole exhibit an indirectsimilarity to porosity and gamma radiation, and a directsimilarity to wet-bulk density, sound velocity, and heatconductivity.
CONCLUSIONS
At Site 48, the Upper Miocene rests directly on MiddleMaestrichtian; the unconformity noted at the base ofthe Upper Miocene at Site 47 thus cuts deeper into thesection at Site 48, having truncated the Eocene, Paleo-cene and Upper Maestrichtian.
The variable depth at which cherts were encountered atSite 48 confirms the conclusion reached at Site 47, thatthe cherts in these chalk oozes do not form beds ofcontinuous thickness, but lense in and out over shortlateral distances. Specimens recovered in the coresshow a highly angular surface, and a differentiation intoa vitreous core and a chalky rind. These cherts are thusmuch like the flints in the chalk of Europe.
The excellent faunas and floras of the Middle Maestrich-tian, slightly older than those penetrated at Site 47,add significant paleontologic information. Traces ofInoceramus are abundant.
