Figure F3. Comparison between the average major and some trace element compositions of serpentinite muds from ODP Legs 125 and 195. Also plotted are the average major and trace element abundances for the serpentinized peridotites from Leg 195 (Salisbury, Shinohara, Richter, et al., 2002; Savov et al., 2002; Savov, 2004) and Leg 125 (Fryer, Pearce, Stokking, et al., 1992; Savov et al., 2000; Savov, 2004). Avg. = average. LOI = loss on ignition. Note that compared to the average serpentinized peridotite clasts, the muds from both legs have higher TiO2, Al2O3, and CaO (typically all with abundances of up to several weight percent in MORBs, but only trace amounts in depleted mantle peridotites). Average concentrations are given in weight percent for oxides and LOI and in parts per million for all other elements.
