The Sites 1067 and 1068 amphibolites and metagabbros reported here have primitive to more evolved compositions that are generally trace element enriched with Mg numbers = 48.6-71.3, TiO2 contents = 0.22-2.74 wt%, Zr contents = 13-338 ppm, and (La/Yb)cn ratios = 1.2-9.2. The correlation of Mg numbers and (La)cn contents (11-89) in these metamorphic rocks is probably the result of fractionating basaltic magmas within each group of samples in which the more primitive samples have lower La abundances. The incompatible trace element characteristics of the Site 1067 amphibolites are most comparable to the Site 899 basalt clasts reported 60 km to the west, whereas the Site 1068 amphibolites and metagabbros are most similar to the Site 899 diabase samples. Additionally, the Leg 173 trace element compositions are similar to the BOIC diabase compositions but unlike those of Leg 149 metagabbro, Gorringe Bank gabbros and dolerites, and other reported oceanic gabbro compositions. The lack of strongly positive Eu/Eu* anomalies in the Leg 173 amphibolites and metagabbros indicates that these samples were not formed as cumulate gabbros, such as the Leg 149 metagabbros, but instead probably crystallized from basaltic liquids that were emplaced and trapped.
