52. SILICIFIED SEDIMENTS AND SILICA DIAGENESIS IN THE GOBAN SPUR AREA OF THE NORTHEAST ATLANTIC, LEG 801

X-ray powder diffraction and optical and scanning-electron microscope analyses of sediment samples taken from four sites drilled in the Goban Spur area of the northeast Atlantic show variable diagenetic silicification of sediments at several stratigraphic horizons. The results are as follows:
