Resumen
Sill intrusions into highly porous sediments in the Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California, lead to low-grade metamorphism, thermal alteration and migration of organic compounds, marked changes in interstitial water chemistry, and large-scale expulsion of heated pore fluids. The latter process creates space for the intruding magma and initiates a hydrothermal system, which can explain the observed hydrothermal deposits around fault scarps on the basin floor.
