The mean composition of ocean ridge basalts

Abstract: [1] The mean composition of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) is determined using a global data set of major elements, trace elements, and isotopes compiled from new and previously published data. A global catalog of 771 ridge segments, including their mean depth, length, and spreading rate enables calculation of average compositions for each segment. Segment averages allow weighting by segment length and spreading rate and reduce the bias introduced by uneven sampling. A bootstrapping statistical technique provi… Show more

“…In order to model the trace element composition of the recycled component, we used the mean MORB of Gale et al (2013) as the igneous crust composition. The effects of subduction modification were calculated on the basis of fluid-rock distribution coefficients obtained in dehydration experiments on a MORB-like amphibolite (Kogiso et al, 1997; Table S3).…”

“…Examples include studies on diversity in mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) composition (e.g., Gale et al, 2013) and global patterns of intraplate volcanism (Conrad et al, 2011). PetDB is actively used by the scientific community and has over 600 citations in the literature since 2000 (http:// www.earthchem.org/citations/petdb, accessed 3/20/2016).…”

“…Basalts from the CIR have distinct trace element ratios, as exemplified by changes in Zr/Y ratios for basalts from the study area. Basalts from the CIR-S1 segment have Zr/Y ratios of for all other data, including Hedge et al (1979), Michard et al (1986), Price et al (1986), Engel and Fisher (1975), Engel et al (1965), Subbarao et al (1975), Jenner and O'Neill (2012), and Gale et al (2013) ~3.0-3.5, whereas basalts from CIR-S2 have values of 2.0-2.5 ( Fig. 13.3), and basalts from CIR-S4 have values around 2.0.…”

“…11). The locations of dredge and rock core sampling undertaken during the KH-93-3 cruise are from Tamaki and Fujimoto (Tamaki and Fujimoto 1995), and the locations sampled by previous studies (Gale et al 2013;Price et al 1986) are sourced from the PetDB database (accessed 2013/07/04) dried at 950 C before being melted at 1,200 C in a mixture consisting of 0.9000 g powdered sample and 4.5000 g lithium tetraborate (Li 2 B 4 O 7 ) flux. XRF calibration lines were determined using the approach of Sato (Sato 2010).…”
