Fig. 4 Sea-floor geological map of the Ohmachi seamount. Dive and dredge trails and localities
of rock samples (including floats) by lithotypes are shown
Fig. 5 Representative lithofacies of the Ohmachi Seamount. ( a ) Schistose serpentinite (dive
6K#1064) with foliation gently dipping to the south. ( b ) Schistose serpentinite (6K#1066) with
near-vertical foliation. ( c ) Jointed massive serpentinite (6K#1065). ( d ) Locally brecciated serpen-
tinite in contact with unfractured massive serpentinite (transitionally schistose in thin section;
6K#1068). ( e ) Locality of an amphibole schist float (6K#609R002) collected from rock debris
( dark part: arrowed ) covered by recent calcareous mud ( light colored ), both exposed on a landslide
scarp in the slope apron. ( f ) Sub-horizontally stratified outcrop near the base of the Paleogene
volcanic sequence, consisting of reworked volcanic breccia ( lower ) and felsic tuff ( upper ), observed
during the dive 6K#609. ( g ) Scanned thin section of a limestone float (6K#1065R003) of shallow-
marine origin showing molds of dissolved colonial corals mostly filled by secondary calcite. ( h )
Cut surface of a float of turbidite (6K#1064R007)
