F60. A. Site
1139 igneous rock compositions on the Na2O + K2O vs. SiO2
classification diagram (Le Bas et al., 1986); alkalic and tholeiitic basalt
fields are distinguished by the Macdonald-Katsura (1964) line. Note that there
is one chemical analysis per igneous unit except for Units 5, 18, and 19 from
which two, two, and four samples, respectively, were analyzed. The least-altered
Unit 18 and 19 samples are marked in bold, and other samples from these units
show considerable spread caused by alteration. B. Site 1139 mafic
compositions compared to samples from Kerguelen Plateau Sites 1136, 1137, and
1138. The fields represent data from previous dredging and drilling on the
southern and central Kerguelen Plateau (Sites 738, 747, 749, 750, and dredge
locations reported by Weis et al., 1989). Data sources are Davies et al. (1989),
Alibert (1991), Mehl et al. (1991), Salters et al. (1992), Storey et al. (1992),
Mahoney et al. (1995), and this study.
