    Lithospheric Modification During Crustal Extension in the Main Ethiopian Rift

    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 112, B10201, doi:10.1029/2006JB004916, 2007 Click Here for Full Article Lithospheric modification during crustal extension in the Main Ethiopian Rift Tyrone Rooney,1,2 Tanya Furman,1 Ian Bastow,3,4 Dereje Ayalew,5,6 and Gezahegn Yirgu5 Received 22 December 2006; revised 11 May 2007; accepted 27 June 2007; published 5 October 2007. [1] Quaternary lavas erupted in zones of tectonomagmatic extension within the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) preserve details of lithospheric structure in the East African Rift System. Despite observed source heterogeneity, basalts, trachybasalts, and basaltic trachyandesites erupted in the Wonjii Fault Belt (WFB) and the Silti-Debre Zeyit Fault Zone (SDFZ) form coherent fractionation paths dominated by variable removal of observed phenocryst phases. Crustal assimilation is not widespread, though it is observed at the southern end of the WFB where both fault belts merge; farther north, assimilation of cumulate phases related to fractional crystallization of previous magmas is identified. Shallow fractionation conditions ( 1 kbar) within the WFB do not change from north to south. In contrast, lavas erupted within the contemporaneous SDFZ fractionate at various crustal depths. These results indicate a better developed magmatic system beneath the WFB where magmas rose quickly before undergoing more significant fractionation at near surface levels and a less developed system beneath the SDFZ. The distribution of magmatism and extant geophysical data indicate thinned crust and a single rift-centered zone of magmatic activity northeast of 8°300N, consistent with a transitional lithosphere between continental and oceanic settings. Southwest of 8°300N, thicker crust and rift- marginal axes of extension suggest lithosphere with continental affinities.

    Possible New Fish Species Found in Pacific 17 April 2007

    Possible new fish species found in Pacific 17 April 2007 A new undersea mineral chimney emitting hot, iron- darkened water that attracts unusual marine life has been discovered in the Pacific Ocean off Costa Rica. The vent, located about 8,500 feet beneath the surface, was found by a U.S.-led expedition exploring a section of volcanic ridge. Expedition members from Duke University; the Universities of New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida; and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution named their discovery the Medusa hydrothermal vent field. That name was selected because numerous spiky tubeworm casings that festoon the vent chimney bring to mind "the serpent-haired Medusa of Greek myth," said expedition leader Emily Klein, a Duke University geology professor. Bell-shaped pink jellyfish sighted near the vent "are really unusual, and the ones we found may be of a different species because nobody has seen types of this color before," said Karen Von Damm, a University of New Hampshire earth sciences professor. The researchers are working aboard WHOI's research vessel Atlantis, and the expedition is funded by the National Science Foundation.
