    Geology

    Material:Rock
    Rock Classification:VOL
    Rock Type:Crystalline Basalt
    Rock Description (1): 349.5-349.58m
    • Interval: 349.5-349.58m
    • Major Lithology: Crystalline Basalt
    • Comments: TOP 8 cm OF CORE REMOVED, NO DESCRIPTION OR CORRELATION POSSIBLE
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: nn; Color:nn; Stratification:nn; Granulometric:nn; Secondary Minerals:nn; Sorting:nn; Support:nn; Grading:nn; Alteration:nn; Fractures:nn; Clast Types:nn; Matrix:nn; Comments:nn
    • Crystalline Basalt: nn
    Rock Description (2): 349.58-349.68m
    • Interval: 349.58-349.68m
    • Major Lithology: Crystalline Basalt
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: SEE CRYSTALLINE BASALT; Color:Dark Gray to Blackish-gray; Stratification:nn; Granulometric:nn; Secondary Minerals:nn; Sorting:nn; Support:nn; Grading:nn; Alteration:nn; Fractures:nn; Clast Types:nn; Matrix:nn; Comments:nn
    • Crystalline Basalt: Aphanitic/ Aphyric; Vesicularity:Dense to poorly vesicular; Ves-Textures:Subspherical (less than 1 mm) vesicles dispersed throughout; Contacts:Upper 8 cm of core section removed, basal contact is planar, possibly micro-hackled/serrated; Comments:Microcrystalline groundmass. Under a binocular microscope the basal contact appears to be somewhat serrated, but the contact rather indistinct due to extensive secondary mineral. The upper-most 8 cm of this section was removed so the relationship to 120-2
    Rock Description (3): 349.6-349.75m
    • Interval: 349.6-349.75m
    • Major Lithology: Tuff
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: well lithified; Color:Gray-green; Stratification:nn; Granulometric:Medium to fine tuff (volcanic sandstone); Secondary Minerals:Y; throughout, on fracture surfaces; Sorting:very well sorted; Support:nn; Grading:Massive; Alteration:nn; Fractures:nn; Clast Types:nn; Matrix:nn; Comments:Clasts are very similar to over and underlying basalt. Angular grain shapes, some with broken vesicle margins. Reacted with HCl.
    • Crystalline Basalt: nn
    Rock Description (4): 349.65-350.335m
    • Interval: 349.65-350.335m
    • Major Lithology: Crystalline Basalt
    • Comments: NN
    • Volcaniclastic Debris: SEE CRYSTALLINE BASALT; Color:Dark Gray to Blackish-gray; Stratification:nn; Granulometric:nn; Secondary Minerals:Y; infilling fractures and on joint surfaces; Sorting:nn; Support:nn; Grading:nn; Alteration:nn; Fractures:nn; Clast Types:nn; Matrix:nn; Comments:nn
    • Crystalline Basalt: Aphanitic/ Aphyric; Vesicularity:Dense; Jointing:Highly jointed; Contacts:Upper contact is sharp and planar, possibly featureless or diffuse. Indistinct.; Comments:Microcrystalline groundmass. The contact between the overlying volcaniclastic sediment and crystalline basalt is most noticeable by the differences in permeability; when the surface is wet with water the water infiltrates the sediment but remains on the s
