Figure F18.
Multichannel seismic reflection profile (MAR13) showing the location of Site
1193 and basement reflection (dashed lines). Shown are examples of thin sections
of altered olivine basalts that comprise basement in this region. A.
Thin section view showing the products of alteration (zeolites-natrolites)
infilling an amygdaloid under cross-polarized light. B. Thin
section view under normal light showing the "ghost" residuals of
plagioclase lathes and pyroxenes. C. Thin section view under
cross-polarized light showing the "ghost" residuals of plagioclase
lathes and pyroxenes. D. Magnetic inclination data from
recovered basalts.
