contents New trace element analyses are presented for Leg 180 dolerites, basalts from the Papuan Ultramafic Belt (PUB), and basement rocks of Woodlark Island. The Leg 180 dolerites are similar to those from Woodlark Island in being derived from an enriched source but differ from the PUB, which came from a source similar to normal mid-ocean ridge basalts. A reliable 40Ar/39Ar age of 54.0 ± 1.0 Ma has been obtained by step heating of a whole-rock sample from Site 1109, and a similar but less reliable age was obtained for a sample from Site 1118. Plagioclase from Site 1109 did not give a meaningful age. This age is broadly similar to ages from the Dabi volcanics of the nearby Cape Vogel and for the PUB.
