The carbonate cements found in Sites 717-719 of ODP Leg 116 correspond to the precipitation of inorganic calcite due to circulation of hot fluid associated with intraplate...

This paper presents fission-track ages and confined track-length measurements from detrital apatites recovered from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 116 Site 717 and 718 cores. We...

Early Miocene to Quaternary sediments drilled from the Bengal Fan are divided into six zones by modal proportions of heavy minerals. The sediments were mostly derived from the...

The purpose of this report is to present in one place the data sets gained from (1) an investigation into the geochemistry of distal Bengal Fan sediments from Leg 116, and (2)...

As a part of the shipboard scientific program, interstitial waters were routinely analyzed for pH, alkalinity, salinity, chlorinity, calcium, and magnesium during Leg 116....

Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 116 cored the distal part of the Bengal Fan at three closely spaced sites (717-719). The recovered sediments consisted dominantly of turbidites...

Dark gray and black mud turbidites cored on ODP Leg 116 commonly yielded large magnetic susceptibility peaks. What is more, these peaks displayed different shapes suggesting...

We describe the molecular composition of a portion of the solvent-soluble organic material (lipid extract), from three organic rich muds (samples 116-717C-22X-1, 80-86 cm,...

Preliminary data are presented on dissolved heavy metals in interstitial water samples collected at Site 718 of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 118.The heavy metals at this site are...

The oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of pore waters are controlled by several processes: (1) hyperfiltration-osmotic effects, (2) carbonate deposition, (3) reaction with...

Trace metals, for which we detected no pollution due to drilling and pore-water extraction procedures, are studied in the pore waters of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 116...

Detrital K-feldspars and muscovites from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 116 cores that have depositional ages from 0 to 18 Ma have been dated by the 40Ar/39Ar technique. Four to...

We have measured the relative abundances of smectite, illite, chlorite, and kaolinite in a composite section of the distal Bengal Fan. Two sources of sediment appear to...

Benthic foraminifers were examined from turbiditic sequences at Sites 717, 718, and 719. Three assemblages, 1, 2, 3, were identified and are interpreted as reflecting different...

Cores recovered from three sites of Leg 116 were studied for radiolarians. Generally, radiolarians were absent from most samples prepared for examination. Moderate to...

We report on benthic foraminifer results from Site 717 in the Distal Bengal Fan. Only 80 out of 380 samples contained useful benthic foraminifer information. However, we were...

The three sites (717, 718, and 719) drilled on the distal Bengal Fan during ODP Leg 116 cored turbidite sediments almost exclusively. Calcareous nannofossils were recovered...

The purpose of this study is to clarify the sedimentary history and chemical characteristics of clay minerals found in sediments deposited in the distal part of the Bengal Fan...

Clastic sediments in the Bengal Fan contain a Neogene history of erosion and weathering of the Himalaya. We present data on clay mineralogy, major element, stable and radiogenic...

Os isotopic compositions and OS and Re concentrations were measured in H2O2-H2SO4 leachates and bulk sediment samples from Holes 717C and 718C of ODP Leg 116 in the Bengal Fan....
