contents Physical properties of basalts from Deep Sea Drilling Project Sites 504 and 505, south of the Costa Rica Rift, including wet-bulk density, water content, sonic velocity, and thermal conductivity, were measured on board D/V Glomar Challenger during Legs 69 and 70. The mean wet-bulk density is 2.90±0.06 g/cm**3, porosity 5.0±2.2%, sonic velocity 5.75±0.30 km/s, and thermal conductivity 1.67±0.09 W/m°K. Basalts from this young ocean crust (5.9 m.y.) have relatively low porosity and consequently high density and sonic velocity, as compared to average DSDP basalts. Some systematic trends in depth variation of physical properties were found: down to Core 40 in Hole 504B, grain densities were lower than those deeper in the hole, whereas porosity in the upper section was higher. This can be attributed either to differences in the flow type or in the nature of alteration of basalts at the different levels in the hole.
