| contents | Secondary carbonate minerals were recovered within the basalts at both ODP Sites 768 and 770 in the Sulu and Celebes seas. Petrographic and X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that the carbonates are calcites. Other alteration products recognized in the thin sections are smectites, iron oxides, and gypsum. The 13C values of carbonates from both sites range from 1.6 per mil to 2.3 per mil, which are indicative of inorganic carbonate formation with no contributions from 13C-depleted sources such as oxidized organic carbon or methane. The oxygen isotopes at Site 770 range from 30.8 per mil to 31.6 per mil, which indicates a pervasive circulation of cold seawater (9° to 12°C) during alteration of the Celebes Sea basalts. In contrast, carbonates associated with Site 768 basalts have less positive d18O values (21.0 per mil to 27.3 per mil). A lighter 18O isotopic signature indicates the formation of secondary calcite at either higher temperatures or in a system closed to seawater. The rapidly deposited pyroclastic flows at Site 768 would have limited water access to the crust very soon after its formation, which leads us to speculate that the carbonates in the Sulu Sea basalts were formed by isotopically modified fluids resulting from basalt alteration in a closed system. |
