Abstract

<p>Among sediment cores collected from Ieyama hydrothermal field in the Okinawa Trough, mineralization layers with occurrence of barite and sphalerite were identified between 53-65 mbsf. We have conducted chronological study of barite in the sediment using 226Ra‐210Pb dating and ESR dating. The results yielded 20-90 yrs. and 350-1050 yrs. as formation ages. On the other hand, radiocarbon dating of planktic foraminifera in the surface sediment at 0.15-0.20 mbsf collected from three places in the study field yielded 900‐1500 yrs.There results provide constraint on mineralization process that occurred beneath the seafloor.</p>
