Sample Family

=Hole, =Core, =Core-Section, =Core-Sample
The Sample Family shows a sub-sampling graph. Select entries to navigate samples. Core-Samples are issued to scientists on request. The naming convention for a Core-Sample is: Expedition_Site_Hole_Core_Section,from-to(cm). Hole, Core, and Core-Section are following the same schema respectively.

    Geology

    Material:Rock
    Rock Classification:VOL
    Rock Type:Tuff
    Rock Description: 26.975-27.105m
    • Interval: 26.975-27.105m
    • Major Lithology: Tuff
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: Poor to moderately consolidated; Color:Brown; Stratification:weak (intercalated beds of variable thickness defined by variations in ash matrix); Granulometric:Medium to fine armored lapilli tuff with outsized coarse lapilli; Secondary Minerals:Y; intergranular space within clast supported layers; Sorting:Very poor to poorly sorted; Support:Matrix to clast supported; Grading:Massive; Alteration:weak; Clast Types:lapilli (simple/zoned), composites, armored, lithics; Matrix:Medium to very coarse ash with variable very fine-fine ash contents and rare crystal fragments; Lithic:=1; Comments:Irregular, lithified dark gray domains/stripes of fine lapilli tuff dispersed throughout. Locally unconsolidated in 5-2 80+ cm, but could be due to coring. Fractured into disks. Ash rims are not ubiquitous
