SITE SUMMARIES (continued)
Site: MAR-ALT2N
Priority: Alternate
Position: 15.6130°N, 46.5760°W
Water Depth: 3600 mbsl (3611 mbrf)
Target Drilling Depth: 300 mbsf
Approved Maximum Penetration: 300 mbsf
Survey Coverage: Faranaut 92, dive 10
Objective: Located on a small topographic dome within a broad part of the axial valley. Also the site of one of the NOBEL seismic experiments in 1997. If it is determined on the basis of the NOBEL results to be a place where unaltered or only slightly serpentinized peridotite is <200 mbsf, then it could become a high-priority drilling target.
Drilling Program: Single bit penetration as deep as possible or 300 mbsf.
Logging Program: Two logging runs, triple combo and FMS-sonic if hole conditions permit.
Nature of Rock Anticipated: Serpentinized peridotite.
