Evolution of fluid–rock interaction in the Reykjanes geothermal system, Iceland: Evidence from Iceland Deep Drilling Project core RN-17B

Abstract: We describe the lithology and present spatially resolved geochemical analyses of samples from the hydrothermally altered Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) drill core RN-17B. The 9.3 m long RN-17B core was collected from the seawater-dominated Reykjanes geothermal system, located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. The nature of fluids and the location of the Reykjanes geothermal system make it a useful analog for seafloor hydrothermal processes, although there are important differences. The recovery of dri… Show more

“…3D). In contrast to the RN-17B cuttings, the RN-17B core is more pervasively altered with albitized igneous plagioclase, actinolite after igneous clinopyroxene, and near complete replacement of the pillow interior to chlorite + hornblende (Fowler et al, 2015). The drill cuttings immediately above the core do include a few fragments of epidote, actinolite, pyrite and titanite veins similar to those common throughout the RN-17B core (Fowler et al, 2015;Fig.…”
