contents ODP Leg 104 recovered 914 m of volcanics at Site 642 on the Vøring Plateau in the Norwegian Sea. The upper series of these volcanics correlates with seaward-dipping seismic reflectors (DRS), and is tholeiitic in character. The lower series underlies the DRS and is broadly andesitic in character. Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, and Pb isotopic analyses show that upper series samples have isotopic features characteristic of MORB, except for one dike sample that has a Pb isotopic composition that may indicate interaction of its parent magma with older continental crust. The five most silicic samples from the lower series, which occur high up in the sequence, define a 63 ± 19 Ma Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron age, and have an initial 87Sr/86Sr of 0.7116 ± 0.0004. Other lower series samples have lower initial 87Sr/86Sr, but all are greater than any upper series rock. The combined evidence of initial 87Sr/86Sr, initial epsilon-Nd values, Sm-Nd model ages, Pb isotopic compositions, and petrographic features clearly indicate that lower series rocks were derived, at least in part, from continental crustal source materials. That the DRS is underlain by rocks of continental character is an important observation, constraining models for the development of DRS-type passive continental margins.
