    Geology

    Material:Rock
    Rock Classification:VOL
    Rock Type:Hyaloclastite Tuff (HYA)
    Rock Description: 63.47-64.34m
    • Interval: 63.47-64.34m
    • Major Lithology: NN
    • Colour Dry: nn
    • Colour Wet: N3
    • Minerals: Feldspar
    • Minerals: Zeolite
    • Contacts: Pyroclastic / Pyroclastic
    • Lithification: moderately well consolidated;difficult to disaggregate;nn
    • Vesicles: no
    • Matrix: no;no;nn;nn;fine ash; poorly sorted (matrix supported)
    • Comments: Strong zeolitization in particular for the first 63.5cm of the core, zeolites fill the tuff vesicles. Presence of composite lapilli made by a xenolithic core surrounded by a glassy rim (the core maybe consist in ancient ocean floor). In the last 23cm the core became more muddy, maybe for an increment of very fine ash, no changing in color happens.
