  • Elena in Costa Rica, 22 Miles, and Landward 12 Or 13 Miles to the Head of Salinas Bay Or Elena Bay
    NO. 2 FRASER: SCIENTIFIC WORK, VELERO III, EASTERN PACIFIC 157 Elena in Costa Rica, 22 miles, and landward 12 or 13 miles to the head of Salinas Bay or Elena Bay. The Gulf is well named, for the land breeze —papagayo—is prevalent, at least at some seasons of the year, from Corinto, Nicaragua, well down the Costa Rican coast, often getting away beyond the zephyr stage in this region. There are three secondary extensions of the Gulf of Papagayo— Salinas Bay, Elena Bay, and Playa Blanca Bay. The shore of Salinas Bay forms a regular curve from Arranca Barba Point at the northwest en­ trance to Point Sacate at the southwest entrance. These points are 2*4 miles apart, and the bay extends landward about 4 miles. The northern shore is high and bold, but the eastern and southern shores consist of sandy beaches separated by low bluffs. Salinas Island is situated not far from the center of the bay. There are one shore station in the sandstone on the south shore of the bay and several dredging stations between Salinas Island and the mouth of the bay, in sand or mud, none deeper than 20 fathoms. The peninsula between Salinas Bay and Elena Bay has a sea front of 2^4 miles, from Point Sacate to Descarte Point. Elena Bay is wide open to the westward. The north shore extends southeastward for about 5 miles; the head (east shore), 3% miles across, consists of two smaller sec­ ondary bays; and the south shore extends for 11 miles almost directly westward to Punta Blanca, with but one break to form Port Parker, 4% miles from the point.

  • Osmium Isotope Evidence for a Heterogeneous 3He/4He Mantle Plume Beneath the Juan Fernandez Islands

Castillo Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA Received 2 May 2019; accepted in revised form 24 June 2019; Available online 3 July 2019 Abstract Mantle plume models have been widely applied to explain the formation of ocean island basalts (OIB), with high-3He/4He in their lavas being explained by sampling of a primitive deep mantle source. The Juan Fernandez Islands have 3He/4He (7.8– 18 RA) similar to or higher than in mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB; 8 ± 1 RA) and have been used to both support and refute the mantle plume hypothesis. Ambiguity regarding the origin of the Juan Fernandez Islands primarily originates from inter- pretation of mantle source signatures between the lava series from the two main islands, Robinson Crusoe and Alexander Selkirk. To examine this issue, we report new whole-rock and olivine separate 187Os/188Os ratios and major-, trace-, and highly siderophile-element (HSE: Re, Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir, Os) abundances.

  • Biostratigraphic Evidence for Dramatic Holocene Uplift of Robinson Crusoe
    1 Biostratigraphic evidence for dramatic Holocene uplift of 2 Robinson Crusoe Island, Juan Fernández Ridge, SE 3 Pacific Ocean 4 5 P. Sepúlveda1, J. P. Le Roux1,2, L.E. Lara3 *, G. Orozco3,2,1, V. Astudillo1 6 [1]{Departamento de Geología, FCFM, Universidad de Chile} 7 [2]{Centro de Excelencia en Geotermia de los Andes, Santiago, Chile} 8 [3]{Volcano Hazards Program, Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería, Santiago, Chile} 9 Correspondance to: Luis E. Lara ([email protected]) 10 11 Abstract 12 Hotspot oceanic islands typically experience subsidence due to several processes related to 13 migration of the oceanic plate away from the mantle plume and surface flexural loading. 14 However, many other processes can interrupt subsidence, some of which may be associated 15 with catastrophic events. A study of the biostratigraphy and sedimentology of Holocene 16 deposits on Robinson Crusoe Island (RCI) on the Juan Fernández Ridge indicated that 17 dramatic uplift occurred since 8,000 years BP, at a rate of about 8.5 mm yr-1. This is 18 evidenced by supratidal flats with tepee structures and sand layers containing marine 19 gastropods (mostly Nerita sp.) that are now exposed ca. 70 m a.s.l. The active hotspot is 20 located 280 km further west and the last volcanic activity on RCI occurred at ca. 800,000 21 years BP. Long-term subsidence is evidenced by deep submerged marine abrasion terraces 22 at RCI. As no direct evidence was found for the existence of a compensating bulge 23 generated by the present hotspot upon which RCI would be situated, it must be concluded 24 that subsidence in the wake of the migrating mantle plume was interrupted by very rapid 25 uplift, but on a scale that did not fully compensate for the previous subsidence.

    Lat. Am. J. Aquat. Res., 44(1): 16-33, 2016 Stomatopoda and Decapoda in Chilean oceanic islands 16 1 DOI: 10.3856/vol44-issue1-fulltext-2 Review Record of stomatopods and decapods, including descriptions of the species of commercial interest from the submarine rises and surrounding waters of the Chilean oceanic islands (southeastern Pacific Ocean) Marco Antonio Retamal1 & Patricio M. Arana2 1Departamento de Oceanografía, Universidad de Concepción, Concepción, Chile 2Escuela de Ciencias del Mar, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile Corresponding author: Marco Antonio Retamal ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. The Chilean oceanic islands are located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean and include Easter Island, Salas y Gómez Island, Desventuradas Islands (San Félix Island and San Ambrosio Island), and the Juan Fernández Archipelago. They are of volcanic origin and are the emerged peaks of seamounts that form part of the Salas y Gómez and Nazca ranges that rise up from the Nazca tectonic plate. The islands are at a great distance from each other and from the South American continent, and their surrounding areas have depths around 4000 m to the ocean floor. The objective of this study is to update stomatopods and decapods records from these islands, from their surrounding waters and from the seamount ranges of which they are part of. Given that there is little information on some of these sites, and the records are disperse, a literature review is carried out, analysing different sources including both published reports and reports with limited circulation. To date, three families of Stomatopoda with five species and 57 families of Decapoda with 194 species have been recorded.
