Summary:

Assimilation of seawater is a widespread phenomenon in MORB magmas. In this paper, analyses of major elements such as H(sub 2)O, C1, Be, and B in olivine-hosted glass inclusions and in matrix glass (i.e., the glass enclosing olivine phenocrysts) is presented from two samples from Loihi seamount that is located southeast of the island of Hawaii. Also presented are the methods, sample descriptions, results, discussions, and the conclusions that were drawn from this study.
