Figure F6. Ni vs. Cr for serpentinite muds. Similar to TiO2, there exists a clear difference between the Ni content of the serpentinite muds and the serpentinized peridotites. Although they have similar Cr contents, the measured Ni in Leg 195 muds (both shipboard data and Guggino et al., 2002) plots between the serpentinite muds from Leg 125 (Lagabrielle et al., 1992) and the serpentinized peridotites (100–250 ppm). The abundances of Ni and Cr were not measured in the serpentinite muds studied by Benton (1997).
