COVER: Petrographic thin section with a vesicle in a basalt host rock from the Louisville Seamount Chain, SW Pacific Ocean, filled with carbonate and clay resulting from seawater-rock reactions. Age dating of this and other carbonated vesicles revealed that the carbonate growth ceases within 8 m.y. after the emplacement of the host rocks (Albers et al., this issue). See “Timing of carbon uptake by oceanic crust determined by rock reactivity” by Elmar Albers et al., p. 876-880.
