• W2046057862 abstract "A strip across the Crest Mountains and High-Fractured Plateau of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge has been surveyed systematically between latitudes 45 and 46° N. Continuous bathymetric, magnetic and gravimetric data have been obtained. Seismic refraction experiments have revealed a complex structure lineated parallel to the axis of the Ridge. Seismic reflexion studies have revealed a picture of the sediment cover, and have shown the possible existence of block faulting of the underlying rocks, with faults alined both parallel and at right angles to the axis of the Ridge. The major rock types found in 46 dredge stations can be grouped as follows: (1) Ubiquitous basalts and tuffs (ranging from theoleiites to alkali basalts, with a few ferro-basalts and high-Al basalts). Basalts rich in resorbed high-calcic plagioclase xenocrysts are common; these occur both on the slopes of shield volcanoes and in the deepest hole of the Median Valley. A nearby fault scarp yielded coarse-grained gabbros. (2) Serpentinized mafic and ultramafic rocks are not restricted to elongated, presumably blockfaulted seamounts, but are also common on the slopes of what had been interpreted on morphological grounds as shield volcanoes; they are absent, however, on the Median alley floor and its immediate scarp slopes. The pre-serpentinization rock types include dunites, harzburgites, gabbros, troctolitic gabbros and amphibolitic peridotites showing crude cumulate textures. (3) The lower parts of the steep inner walls of the Median Valley have yielded metabasalts and metadiabases showing alteration within the greenschist facies of etamorphism, whilst still retaining original igneous characteristics. (4) Restricted to the fault scarps of elongated seamounts further removed from the Median Valley are higher grade metamorphic rocks of the almandine amphibolite facies of metamorphism. These rocks have lost all igneous textures and exhibit a strong gneissic fabric. (5) Three localities yielded dioritic rocks in association with serpentinized ultramafics. The diorites vary in character from hornblende-rich quartz diorites to more siliceous, almost hornblende-free trondhjemites. The latter show considerable albitization. The whole suite of rocks shows great affinities with similar suites found as late stage intrusives in alpine-type ultramafic complexes. About 23% of the specimens collected included gneissic, granitic and sedimentary rock types of erratic origin, ice rafted into the area in the Pleistocene. A study of their distribution indicates that there are no erratics in the Median Valley, that they are scarce on the mountain ranges immediately flanking the Valley, but beyond these areas they are abundant and are randomly distributed over the whole area. Such a distribution may be a result of ocean-floor spreading, indicating that the Median Valley is younger than the last ice age, or that extrusions subsequent to the last ice age have engulfed any erratics present in the Median Valley. The thickness of manganese coating on extrusive rocks and their K/Ar and fission track ages increase systematically with distance on either side of the axis of the M.A.R., strongly supporting the ocean-floor spreading hypothesis. The ages and coatings both show a marked change in their rate of increase beyond a distance of 50 to 60 km on either side of the axis. The position at which this occurs coincides with the thickening in these areas of sediments found in the inter-volcanic valleys, and the morphological changes between the Crest Mountains and the High-Fractured Plateau. The combined data strongly suggest that there was either a quiescent period sometime in the Pliocene during which ocean-floor spreading was inactive, or that the rate of spreading had accelerated during the Pliocene from less than 1 cm a -1 to a computed 2.5 cm a -1 in Pleistocene times." @default.
