| contents | Two types of serpentinized peridotites from Hole 670A of Leg 109 were studied in detail. A small piece of relatively unaltered sample, 109-670A-9R-1, #3 (22-24 cm), is olivine websterite characterized by aluminous chromian spinel with Cr/(Cr + Al) ratio of about 0.2. The other minerals have compositions essentially identical with those in more commonly observed serpentinized harzburgite like 109-670A-9R-01, #12 (94-97 cm). The occurrence of pyroxene-rich peridotite with normal harzburgite suggests that small scale heterogeneity in modal compositions exists in the upper mantle beneath the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Low Cr/Al ratios of spinel and pyroxenes of those peridotites indicate that they are relatively less refractory among peridotites ever recovered from the oceanic region. Textures and the estimated equilibration temperatures indicate that peridotites recovered from Hole 670A are recrystallized and reequilibrated at subsolidus temperature. The occurrence of serpentinized peridotites from the rift valley of the active mid-oceanic ridge may suggest that they represent direct exposure of upwelling mantle materials rather than serpentine diapirs. |
