Abstract : Mineralogical composition of 295 samples of Atlantis II, Deep metalliferous sediments was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. Various types of silicates, iron and manganese oxides, carbonates, sulfates, sulfides are the common mineral phases. The minerals exhibit systematic distribution pattern in the sediments cores and facilitate a facies and subfacies classification. Typical mineralogical sequence from bottom to top is: sulfides, silicates, siderite, Ca-Fe-Mn carbonate, rhodochrosite, iron oxides, manganite and amorphous silica, iron or manganese oxides. Mineralogical varia- I tions in the Atlantis II, Deep sediments are considered to be due to the pre- ! sence of repeated depositional cycles related to fluctuation in temperature, pH and perhaps oxygen fugacity, during the mixing of magmatic hydrothermal solution and sea-water.
