Site Summaries
Site: ODP Site 845
Priority: Alternate
Position: 9°34.95'N, 94°35.45'W
Water Depth: 3704 m
Sediment Thickness: 292 m
Target Drilling Depth: Through sediment-basement transition (>292 m)
Approved Maximum Penetration: Requested same maximum penetration as for Leg 138.
Seismic Coverage: Thomas Washington station 15, 2059UTC, 28 September 1989.
See seismic line.
Objective: Alternate for Site EQP-2A. This site exhibits clear pore water geochemical evidence of basement flow, although pore water Sr concentrations indicate less carbonate diagenesis at this site than at ODP Site 851.
Drilling Program: TBD
Logging and Downhole Program: TBD
Nature of Rock Anticipated: Diatom and radiolarian clay, nannofossil ooze, and pelagic carbonate.
