Abstract

The sediments cored on Leg 19 consist primarily of diatomaceous oozes with variable proportions of volcanic material and terrigenous clays and silts. With a few exceptions, deposition rates are high at these sites, usually exceeding 5cm/103y. The interstitial solutions sampled exhibit compositional changes which previously have been found to characterize rapidly deposited terrigenous sediments. Some of the largest changes in Na+, K+, Mg2+, Cl-, and HCO3 yet found in DSDP samples occur in the pore waters studied from this leg (see Table 1).
