melts that overlies a thick tholeiitic lava pile. The tholeiite and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 183 was designed to investigate pebbles from the top of a probable talus deposit (Unit 2) at the origin and evolution of the large igneous province composed of Site 1142 have geochemical signatures consistent with a minor the Kerguelen Plateau and Broken Ridge. Of the eight sites drilled, contribution from continental material. This signature is absent in basalt was recovered from seven, five on the plateau and two on the other units from these two sites, which have ocean-island-like Broken Ridge. We present results from four of these sites, 1136, incompatible element ratios and age-corrected isotopic characteristics 1138, 1141 and 1142. Although this large igneous province is similar (but not identical) to those proposed for the post-30 Ma interpreted as being derived from the Kerguelen mantle plume, the Kerguelen plume. These alkalic basalts may be the purest repgeochemical characteristics of basalt from some parts of the province resentatives of the Cretaceous plume tail composition yet found. indicate a role for continental lithosphere. The 118–119 Ma basalt flows recovered in the Southern Kerguelen Plateau (Site 1136) have a more subtle continental signature than shown by basalt at Leg 119 Site 738. A continental signature is absent in the 100–101 Ma
