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 (1): 15.72-16.48m
    • Interval: 15.72-16.48m
    • Major Lithology: Tuff
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: Moderately consolidated; Color:Brown; Stratification:Crude (defined by diffuse variations in fine ash content and lapilli abundance); Granulometric:Medium to fine armored lapilli tuff with outsized coarse lapilli; Sorting:Poor to very poorly sorted; Support:Matrix supported; Grading:Massive; Alteration:weak; Clast Types:lapilli (simple/zoned), composites, armored, lithics; Matrix:Very fine to fine ash (abundance varies) with medium to coarse ash; Lithic:=1; Comments:irregular dark gray domains
    Rock Description (2): 16.48-17.28m
    • Interval: 16.48-17.28m
    • Major Lithology: Tuff
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: Moderately consolidated to lithified; Color:Brownish-gray; Stratification:Crude (defined by diffuse variations in fine ash content and lapilli abundance); Granulometric:Fine to Medium lapilli tuff; Sorting:Poor to very poorly sorted; Support:Matrix supported; Grading:Massive; Alteration:Unaltered to weak; Clast Types:lapilli (simple/zoned), composites, lithics; Matrix:Very fine to coarse ash; Lithic:=1; Comments:Gradational contact with black fine lapilli tuff. This bounds both the upper and lower boundaries of the coherent basalt and associated FLT.
    Rock Description (3): 16.52-17.42m
    • Interval: 16.52-17.42m
    • Major Lithology: Tuff
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: Poorly consolidated; Color:Black; Granulometric:Fine lapilli tuff; Sorting:Moderate-poorly sorted; Support:Openwork framework supported; Grading:Massive; Alteration:Unaltered; Clast Types:lapilli; Matrix:Very coarse to medium ash; Comments:Magnetic like contacting basalt. Gradational with basalt.
    Rock Description (4): 16.62-17.6m
    • Interval: 16.62-17.6m
    • Major Lithology: Crystalline Basalt
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: SEE CRYSTALLINE BASALT; Color:Blackish-gray
    • Crystalline Basalt: Aphanitic/ Aphyric; Vesicularity:Poorly/ Coarsely vesicular; Ves-Textures:Spherical, subspherical, polylobate, amoeboid, convoluted (<1 mm-3 cm) vesicles; distributed, domains, chains and vugs.; Contacts:Planar (45°) to irregular contact with LT, contacting host (2-2, 76-80 cm) is more indurated compared to that away from crystalline basalt. Black FLT grades into chilled (black rind), brecciated/granulated margins with hackly zones and in situ jig-saw fit clasts.; Comments:Microcrystalline groundmass, both coherent basalt and black lapilli tuff are magnetic
