Site 1207 2000 Shatsky Rise is a large (450 km long, 1650 km wide) oceanic plateau 34 0200 36 38 1800 40 40 located in the northwestern Pacific 1600 km east of Japan (Fig. F1). 1600 37°30' 0400

Magnetic lineations (Fig. F1 inset) show that the Pacific Plate near 38 40 1400 40 34 38 7 (13 Aug) 40 0400 0600 Shatsky Rise was formed during the and Early at two 1200

42 1000 spreading ridges that met at a (Larson and Chase, 1972; 0500 0800 40 5B

0600 Hilde et al., 1976; Handschumacher et al., 1988; Sager et al., 1988; 38 34 Nakanishi et al., 1989, 1999). The northeast-trending Japanese linea- 162°30'E 163°00' 020 tion set formed at the spreading ridge separating the Pacific from the km Izanagi plate to the northwest. The southeast-trending Hawaiian linea- tions formed at the ridge separating the Pacific from the Farallon plate to the northeast (Woods and Davies, 1982). Tectonic reconstructions in- dicate that this part of the Pacific Plate formed near the equator (e.g., Larson and Chase, 1972). The regional seafloor surrounding Shatsky Rise is deep (5.5–6.0 km) and sediment cover is thin, typically a few hundred meters (Houtz and Ludwig, 1979; Ludwig and Houtz, 1979). Sediments on the top of Shatsky Rise are much thicker, up to 1.2 km (Ewing et al., 1966; Zdoro- venin et al., 1972; Neprohnov et al., 1984; Karp and Prokudin, 1985; Khankishieva, 1989; Sliter and Brown, 1993; Klaus et al., 1995) and are composed of Cretaceous pelagic carbonates deposited above the calcite compensation depth when the rise was younger and nearer the equator (e.g., Sliter and Brown, 1993). Shatsky Rise is a thick igneous construct with a seismic velocity struc- ture similar to oceanic crust, but thickened by several times under the highest parts (Den et al., 1969; Gettrust et al., 1980; Kogan, 1981). This suggests that the rise has a composition similar to oceanic crust and that dredges have recovered from basement outcrops on the rise (Kashintsev and Suzymov, 1981; Sager et al., 1999). The huge size of the igneous pile, however, indicates that it was not formed by typical sea- floor spreading. A relationship between Shatsky Rise and the Pacific-Izanagi-Farallon triple junction has long been suspected because the Japanese and Hawaiian magnetic lineations converge at the rise axis (Larson and Chase, 1972; Hilde et al., 1976). Magnetic bights occur in many places within the lower parts of the rise, implying that the triple junction was composed of spreading ridges (Fig. F1) (Nakanishi et al., 1999). Because its size implies a large amount of volcanism, several authors have sug- gested that the rise formed as the result of a (Sager et al., 1988; Nakanishi et al., 1989; Sager and Han, 1993; Sager et al., 1999). A predominantly reversed magnetic polarity over the southwestern part of the South High suggests a short formation period and an extremely high magma eruption rate similar to those of flood basalts and postu- lated for plume heads (Sager and Han, 1993). There are few age dates for Shatsky Rise because basalts dredged from it are typically too altered for radiometric dating. Despite several attempts at drilling basement prior to Leg 198, no borehole has pene- trated basement to obtain fresher rocks. The oldest well-dated sedi- ments recovered from drilling the rise, which are at DSDP Site 306 on the southwest side of the South High (Fig. F2), are Berriasian (earliest Cretaceous; 137–144 Ma [timescale of Gradstein et al., 1994]) and were A. KLAUS AND W.W. SAGER CHAPTER 11, DATA REPORT: HIGH-RESOLUTION SEISMIC REFLECTION DATA 3 recovered ~80 m above a reflector thought to represent basement (Lar- son, Moberly, et al., 1975). Late Jurassic magnetic lineations M21 (148 Ma) to M19 (145 Ma) bracket the South High, so this massif must have formed near the end of the Jurassic or beginning of the Cretaceous. The Central High, North High, and Papanin Ridge must be younger because the magnetic lineations indicate that the lithosphere beneath is younger than early Berriasian (Fig. F1 inset). Shatsky Rise gravity data indicate Airy-type isostatic compensation typical for features emplaced near spreading ridges (Watts et al., 1980; Sandwell and MacKenzie, 1989), suggesting an age for the rise near that of the underlying litho- sphere. These observations imply that the age of the rise becomes younger to the northeast (Sager and Han, 1993). Volcanism occurred on Shatsky Rise after the main shield-building volcanic phases. Both the South and Central Highs have late-stage vol- canic ridges on their top; the one on the South High rises ~1 km above the level at which shallow-water fossils were dredged. Assuming that this ridge formed below sea level (it shows no obvious subaerial ero- sion), the high subsided as normal lithosphere (Johnson and Carlson, 1992), and the fossils are autochthonous, the depth difference implies a time gap of ~8 to 9 m.y. In addition, basalts dredged from Toronto Ridge on top of the South High are trachytes and trachyandesites (Te- jada et al., 1995), which are typical of fractionated, late-stage eruptions (Macdonald and Abbott, 1970).

TECTONIC EVOLUTION

Sager et al. (1999) inferred that Shatsky Rise was formed by plume- related volcanism near a triple junction from about M21 to M1 (147 to 124 Ma). The three large highs and the normal lithosphere between them imply that volcanism was episodic, with separate pulses building each of the highs. The volume trend implies that the first eruption was extraordinarily large and that subsequent eruptions were of diminish- ing size. As indicated by the narrow time gap between the age of the underly- ing lithosphere and oldest sediments drilled at Site 306, Shatsky Rise ev- idently began forming near the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary with rapid, massive eruptions that formed the South High (Sager and Han, 1993). This nearly coincided with an 800-km eastward jump of the Pacific-Izanagi-Farallon triple junction and a reorientation of the Pacific-Izanagi Ridge between M21 and M19 (148-145 Ma) (Sager et al., 1988). Whether this large jump was caused by the eruption of the South High is unclear, but morphology and anomaly positions imply that the volcanic edifice formed slightly off-ridge and affected the ridge positions (Sager et al., 1999). Ridge jumps also occurred at about the time of formation of the Central and North Highs (M16-MI5 and M14, 138 and 136 Ma, respectively), moving the triple junction farther northeast (Nakanishi et al., 1999). The shape of the rise implies that the plates were moving rapidly southwest relative to the mantle plume (~1400 km in the 22 m.y. between M20 and M1), so the ridge jumps may have occurred to keep the spreading ridges located atop or near the plume (Sager et al., 1999).

A total of 3213 km of seismic reflection data were collected over 48 38 0000 2000 45 Shatsky Rise using a six-channel streamer and air gun sources (Figs. F1, (8 Aug) 1100 (7 Aug) 4 2100 48 2200 52 2300 F2, F3, F4, F5). The acquisition geometry, recording parameters, and 0100 (9 Aug) 52 50 processing sequence are summarized in Figure F6 and Table T1. The 6- 50 channel Teledyne streamer consisted of a 70-m tow leader, a 5-m

39°30' weighted section, a 25-m stretch section, six 25-m active sections, and 163°30'E 164°00' two additional spare active sections (Fig. F6). Two different air gun sources were used.
