contents Early diagenesis in Leg 126 forearc and backarc sands/sandstones is characterized by the dissolution of intermediate to mafic brown glass, the alteration of colorless rhyolitic glass to clay minerals, precipitation of thin clay-mineral rim cements, and minor precipitation of clinoptilolite cements. Later, more intense diagenesis is restricted to Oligocene forearc basin sediments at Sites 787,792, and 793. In these sections, the effects of early diagenesis have been intensified and overprinted by later diagenetic effects including (1) large-scale dissolution of feldspar and pyroxene crystals, (2) further dissolution of vitric components, (3) precipitation of minor carbonate cements, and (4) pervasive, multiple-staged zeolite cementation. Zeolite minerals present include analcite, mordenite, natrolite, heulandite, wairakite, chabazite, erionite, herschelite, and phillipsite. The latest diagenetic events appear to be the minor dissolution of zeolite cements and the precipitation of minor carbonate and potassium feldspar(?) cements. Observed porosity types include primary interparticles; primary intraparticles in vesicular glass and foraminifers; primary interparticles reduced by compaction and cementation; secondary intraparticles produced by dissolution of feldspar, nonopaque heavy minerals, volcanic glass, and foraminifer tests; and secondary interparticles produced by the dissolution of zeolite cements. Within forearc Oligocene sections at Sites 787 and 792, diagenetic effects appear to decrease with depth in the Oligocene section; however, at Site 793 the majority of samples are intensely altered.
