Partitioning of transition elements in Pacific pelagic sediments (35 samples) was performed by sequential chemical leaching with barium chloride/triethanolamine (easily extractable fraction), acidic cation exchange resin (carbonate phases), and hydroxylamine hydrochloride and dilute hydrochloric acid solutions (hydrous oxides). Residual metal percentages are highest in red-brown clays and siliceous ooze, intermediate in calcareous materials and low in micronodules (2 samples, > 125 m): residual metal contents seem to be controlled predominantly by the rate of admixture of volcanoclastic materials. At higher bulk metal concentrations, the non-residual fractions of Mn, Cu, Ni and Zn generally increase both in red-brown pelagic clays and in siliceous ooze. Mn, Ni, and Co concentrations are mainly associated with the easily reducible fraction (0.1 M NH 2 OH·HCl), whereas Fe, Cu, and Zn exhibit higher percentages in the hydrochloric acid soluble fractions (0.3 M HCl); Zn and Cu are associated to some extent with the carbonate phase, copper with the easily extractable fraction.
