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.

    Rock Description (1): 240.645-241.045m
    • Interval: 240.645-241.045m
    • Major Lithology: Tuff
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: Well lithified; Color:Dark Green; Stratification:nn; Granulometric:Medium lapilli tuff with outsized coarse lapilli, bomb; Secondary Minerals:Y; orange coat on bomb, within clast vesicles, irregular matrix voids, and intergranular space.; Sorting:Poorly sorted; Support:Matrix supported; Grading:Massive; Alteration:Highly altered; Fractures:@38 cm 60C degrees infilled fracture; Clast Types:lapilli (simple/ zoned), composites; Matrix:Coarse to medium ash and rare crystal fragments with intergranular altered very fine-fines and secondary minerals; Lithic:0; Comments:Secondary mineral abundance in matrix varies with fines content, being more prevalent with decreasing fines.

    • Interval: 241.045-241.945m
    • Major Lithology: Tuff
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: Well lithified; Color:white-orange; Stratification:nn; Granulometric:Efflorescence (or whiteish-mineral crust) grown on Medium to coarse lapilli tuff; Secondary Minerals:Y; as euhedral crystals, mineral crust, infilling all intergranular space; Sorting:Poorly sorted; Support:nn; Grading:nn; Fractures:nn; Clast Types:lapilli (simple/ zoned), lithics?; Matrix:nn; Lithic:0; Comments:Primary features were obscured by thick euhedral secondary mineral crust.
