Because they are portions of the ancient oceanic lithosphere, ophiolites present a full stratigraphy of the oceanic crust and part of the earth's upper mantle. The Cyprus Crustal Study Project to investigate the Troodos ophiolite was approved in 1980 and was conceived as an integrated petrological, structural and geophysical study, involving both field mapping and diamond drilling. From 1980-82, field studies were started and drilling begun, continuing until March 1985 at three sites, at which 5 holes were drilled. This report presents a series of papers, with abstracts, on various aspects of the Project, including field relations, lithological description, petrography and mineralogy, geochemistry, paleomagnetic and rock magnetic properties, physical properties and other geophysical data, and a summary, data tables and core log description.

In 1978, an international consortium of scientists from Canada, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Iceland, the United States, and West Germany successfully completed a research deep drilling project in Iceland. These scientists formed the International Crustal Research Drilling Group to organize further deep drilling investigations and to compare the results with those from the Deep Sea and Ocean Drilling Projects. From 1982-85, five holes were drilled at three sites in Cyprus to study the Troodos ophiolite. The drilling was part of an integrated petrological, structural, and geophysical study of the ophiolite, involving both field mapping and diamond drilling. This report is the third of three on the project, discussing holes drilled through the pillow lava succession and giving descriptions of the cores along with other geological, geophysical, and geochemical data.

A 2 km drill hole was planned as part of the Cyprus crustal study project to sample the lower part of the Troodos ophiolite. The hole was spudded in near the base of the sheeted dyke complex to determine the intrusive and compositional relationships within the dyke complex; the nature of the dyke gabbro transition; the age relationships of the spatially associated dykes, gabbros, and plagiogranites, the chemical and mineralogical variation within the plutonic section and hence whether the intrusives are a single magnetic sequence or a number of discrete plutons; and the nature and extent of hydrothermal alteration within the dykes and gabbros. It was anticipated that the drilling results, combined with field studies of the plutonic rocks and sheeted dykes, would provide a 3-dimensional model for the lower part of the ophiolite. This report details studies of the core material and the field relationships.
