Table T21. Estimates of major ion concentrations expected at the pore fluid anomaly observed at 500 m CSF. (See table notes.)

  Formation
fluid
Expected
value
Observed
value
Mg (mM) 5 15 16
Ca (mM) 157 128 127
Na (mM) 298 334 315
SO4 (mM) 4 9.0 8.5
Cl (mM) 620 608 604

Notes: Formation fluid value estimated by interpolating the data from above and below the observed anomaly at 500 m CSF. Expected value assuming a 20% seawater component, based on the potassium data.
