Many of the key elements (e.g., Th, rare earth elements, Ba, and Be) that are important in understanding crustal growth are sequestered in the sedimentary column and in the uppermost oxidized portions of the volcanic section of oceanic basement (K, B, U, CO2, H2O). The principal objective of Leg 185 was to core two sites in Mesozoic crust in the west Pacific, which is being subducted into the Mariana and Izu-Bonin subduction systems, in order to determine the inputs into the “west Pacific subduction factory.” Hole 801C was first drilled in the oldest (~165 Ma) crust in the Pacific Ocean during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 129. During Leg 185 the hole was deepened to nearly 500 meters below seafloor (mbsf), and at Site 1149, located on magnetic Anomaly M11 (~132 Ma) 100 km east of the Izu-Bonin Trench, the entire sedimentary sequence (410 m) and an additional 133 m of highly altered volcanic basement was drilled. Using the recovered core and the logging results, it is possible to reconstruct the volcanic section for Hole 801C.
