contents Hole 841B was drilled in the forearc region of the Lau Basin at a water depth of 4810 m. The hole penetrated a roughly 500-m-thick series of Miocene volcanic sediments with a number of basaltic to andesitic units (sills?) varying in thickness between 7 cm and 17 m. The volcanics are slightly to moderately altered and contain analcite, chabazite, natrolite-thompsonite, heulandite (?), prehnite, and quartz as secondary phases. In addition, thaumasite [Ca3Si(OH)6 * 12H2O](SO4)(CO3) was identified in the altered sequence. Sulfur isotope data of two thaumasite separates (+23.5 per mil and +21.1 per mil d34S) indicate a seawater origin of the sulfate sulfur. It is suggested that thaumasite is a product of low-temperature (<60 °C), seawater-derived CaCl2-rich fluids that were almost identical in composition to those presently circulating in the sub-seafloor.
