    Geology

    Material:Rock
    Rock Classification:VOL
    Rock Type:Hyaloclastite Tuff (HYA)
    Rock Description: 24.16-24.98m
    • Interval: 24.16-24.98m
    • Major Lithology: NN
    • Colour Dry: nn
    • Colour Wet: 10YR 6/6
    • Minerals: Feldspar; Clinopyroxene
    • Minerals: Zeolite; Palagonite
    • Contacts: nn
    • Lithification: moderately well consolidated;easily-diff. to disaggregate;nn

    • Comments: Presence of a feldspar with a pyroxene inclusion. Presence of lapilli characterized by a glassy rim or also an altered rim. Presence of clasts maybe derived from ancient ocean floor. Palagonitization seems not uniform through the core. Presence of zeolites in the vesicles of some lapilli.
