Geochemistry and mineralogy of interstitial waters and clays in sediments of ODP Leg 180 sites

Oxygen and strontium isotopes and Rb and Ba were determined in interstitial water (IW) collected from Sites 1109, 1115, and 1118 drilled on the Woodlark Rise during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 180. The trace element and mineralogical composition of the clay fraction of sediments isolated from the squeeze cakes corresponding to IW samples from Site 1109 was also determined.
