Most of the detritus in these sedimentary rocks is volcanic with the exception of a small amount of conspicuous material of probable continental derivation. The anomalous clasts include several pebbles of gneiss (Nicolaysen et al., 2001) and garnet sand grains. The presence of continental material on the plateau bears significantly on the interpretation of Indian Ocean basalts (Weis et al., 2001). The purpose of the present study was to determine the composition of the garnets to provide additional constraints on the nature of the source area.completedOceanographyGeochemistry of rocks, soils, and sedimentsbasaltsclastic rocksclastic sedimentsconglomerateElan Bankelectron probe dataflood basaltsgarnet groupigneous rocksIndian OceanKerguelen PlateauLeg 183mineral compositionnesosilicatesOcean Drilling Programocean floorsODP Site 1137orthosilicatespyropesandsandstonesedimentary rockssedimentssilicatesSouthern Oceanvolcanic rocksurn:org.iodp:exp:183urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:183:site:1137urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:183urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation68.053668.0536-56.5000-56.5000Data report; available only on CD-ROM in PDF format and on the Web in PDF or HTMLapplication/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://www-odp.tamu.edu/publications/183_SR/VOLUME/CHAPTERS/006.PDFdownload
