Dike and screen units are hydrothermally altered equivalents to the transition alteration zone typified by the presence of chlorite and clays together. Major and trace element results show that the dike and screen units fail within a restricted basalt-basaltic andesite-andesite interval (SiO (sub 2) 46-62 wt %) of the Magma Group A series. Differences in primary composition cannot be responsible for the differences in magnetization. Degree of alteration, rather than style, is a probable explanation for the differences in magnetization. The results of this study indicate that magnetization can be used to interpret lithological sequences present at DSDP/ODP Hole 504B.completedIgneous and metamorphic petrologyAsiaCyprusDeep Sea Drilling ProjectdikesDSDP Site 504extrusive rockshydrothermal alterationintrusionsIPODLeg 111Leg 137Leg 140Leg 148Leg 69Leg 70Leg 83Leg 92magnetizationmajor elementsmetasomatismMiddle Eastnatural analogsOcean Drilling Programophiolitesheeted dikestrace elementsTroodos Ophioliteurn:org.iodp:exp:111urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:137urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:140urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:148urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:69urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:70urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:83urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:92urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:69:site:504urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:69urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:70:site:504urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:70urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:83:site:504urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:83urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:92:site:504urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:92urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:111:site:504urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:111urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:137:site:504urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:137urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:140:site:504urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:140urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:148:site:504urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:148urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-83.4357-83.43481.13351.1338
