The physiochemical state of the gases in the sediments can have an effect on sound velocities (Stoll et al, 1971) and could be responsible for the presence on the seismic records from the Blake-Bahama Outer Ridge of a seismic reflector, parallel to the seafloor topography that cuts through the "bedding-plane" reflectors (Figure 2). This reflector, called reflector Y by Markl et al. (1970), is discussed by Ewing and Hollister elsewhere in this volume. Alternatively, environmental conditions that result in the production of large amounts of natural gas may also produce a mineralogical zonation that could explain reflector Y. Whether there is a direct relationship between the presence of the gas, the reflector, and the diagenetic processes that have led to the distribution of carbonate minerals observed in the sediments is not clear, but it is noteworthy that the observed conditions seem to be related to regions where rapid deposition of terrigenous sediment has occurred.
