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:Crystalline Basalt
    Rock Description (1): 238.1-238.63m
    • Interval: 238.1-238.63m
    • Major Lithology: Crystalline Basalt
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: SEE CRYSTALLINE BASALT; Color:Blackish-gray; Stratification:nn; Granulometric:nn; Secondary Minerals:Y; euhedral secondary minerals on fracture/joint surfaces; Sorting:nn; Support:nn; Grading:nn; Alteration:nn; Fractures:Jointed/fractured, lined (break surfaces), partly filled, and filled (3mm wide) with secondary minerals; Clast Types:nn; Matrix:nn; Comments:nn
    • Crystalline Basalt: Porphyritic; Vesicularity:poorly vesicular; Ves-Textures:spherical, subspherical, and polylobate morphologies; in vesicle bands separated by microvesicular to dense zones. Vesicle bands are parallel to contact and continue away from contact.; Jointing:Highly jointed with euhedral secondary minerals on joint surfaces; Phenocryst:Olivine (=1 mm), rare feldspar; Phen-Abundance:10%; Contacts:Planar contact with 1 mm glass margin and ~70C degrees partly filled fracture (with secondary minerals) separating crystalline basalt and lapilli tuff; Comments:Groundmass is microcrystalline. **The contact inclination is approximate**
    Rock Description (2): 238.63-239.23m
    • Interval: 238.63-239.23m
    • Major Lithology: Tuff
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: Well lithified; Color:Dark Gray to blackish-gray; Stratification:nn; Granulometric:Fine lapilli tuff; Secondary Minerals:Y; extensively in intergranular space; Sorting:Poor to moderately sorted; Support:Matrix supported; Grading:Massive; Alteration:Highly altered; Fractures:JOINTED parallel to contact with crystalline basalt; Clast Types:lapilli (simple/ zoned), lithics; Matrix:Coarse to medium ash with intergranular secondary minerals; Comments:8 mm thick, passes into Medium lapilli tuff with outsized coarse lapilli (below) away from contact
    Rock Description (3): 238.7-239.66m
    • Interval: 238.7-239.66m
    • Major Lithology: Tuff
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: Well lithified; Color:Dark Green; Stratification:nn; Granulometric:Medium lapilli tuff with outsized coarse lapilli; Secondary Minerals:Y; within clast vesicles, matrix, and intergranular space.; Sorting:Poorly sorted; Support:Matrix supported; Grading:Massive; Alteration:Highly altered; Fractures:partially infilled fracture along contact; Clast Types:lapilli (simple/ zoned), composites, lithics; Matrix:Coarse to medium ash and rare crystal fragments with intergranular altered fines and secondary minerals; Lithic:1-2; Comments:Exact length of contact difficult to determine due to highly fractured nature of core.
