Abstract |
Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn have been analyzed from Sites 211, 213, 214, 215,and 216 of DSDP Leg 22 of the Glomar Challenger in the northeastern Indian Ocean. According to these trace elements, three different types of source material are broadly defined : the basin floor basalts with a composition similar to tholeiites from mid-oceanic ridges, the basalts and the differentiated rocks from the Ninetyeast Ridge, and the diabase and amphibolite from Site 211. In this paper the notion of stabilization energy in a ligands field is summarized, analytical techniques used are described, and certain conclusions based on the results are presented.
