Vavilov seamount

Vavilov Seamount Late Pliocene to 0.1 - N-S elongated, about 2000 m high, cone contaning tholeiitic to Na-transitional basalts. 

Magnaghi and Vavilov seamounts. Magnaghi (3.0 to 2.7 Ma) and Vavilov (Late Pliocene to 0.1 Ma) seamounts are two N-S elongated volcanoes. The few rocks recovered to date have a basaltic composition with moderate to high TiC>2 (1.9 to 3.2 wt %), variable Ni (about 30 to 180 ppm) and Cr (about 30 to 350 ppm Selli et al. 1977 Beccaluva et al. 1982 Robin et al. 1987 Kastens et al. 1988, 1990 Savelli 1988). Incompatible elements are moderately enriched and mantle-normalised patterns show a small upward convexity, a moderate spike of Nb, and no LILE spikes or HFSE depletion (Fig. 9.12).

Rocks akin to the Ocean Island Basalts have been found at the Vavilov and Managhi seamounts, off the eastern Sardinian coast (Quirra and Etruschi seamounts and rocks drilled at ODP Site 654), and north and northwest of the western Sicily coast (Aceste seamount, Promoteo lava field and Ustica island Fig. 9.1). Ustica has been described in Chap. 8.
