Article Synopsis
  • Sampling intact oceanic crust through various geological layers is crucial for understanding mid-ocean ridge formation, yet remains a scientific challenge.
  • Recent drilling at Hole 1256D in the eastern Pacific Ocean successfully accessed gabbro at a depth of 1157 meters, providing insight into crust formed at superfast spreading rates.
  • The discovery of gabbros, which reflect crystallized melt lenses, aligns with seismic predictions that suggest shallower melt lenses occur faster spreading rates and suggests a complex interaction with the surrounding metamorphosed dikes and lavas.
