    Geology

    Material:Rock
    Rock Classification:VOL
    Rock Type:Hyaloclastite Tuff (HYA)
    Rock Description: 92.5-93.4m
    • Interval: 92.5-93.4m
    • Major Lithology: NN
    • Colour Dry: nn
    • Colour Wet: N2
    • Minerals: Feldspar
    • Minerals: Zeolite
    • Contacts: Pyroclastic / Pyroclastic
    • Lithification: well lithified;diff. disagg.-well-bonded;Fractured and unconsolidated at base of section. Mineral cements less apparent.
    • Vesicles: no
    • Matrix: no;no;nn;nn;fine to medium ash, poorly sorted (matrix supported)
    • Comments: Zeolitization occurs in tuff's voids but also in clast's vesicles (if the clasts have it). Presence of clasts probably derived from ancient ocean's floor (they are 5 RP 5/2 I the Munsell chart). Presence of a coarse scoria with irregular shape that has been subjected to differential erosion (but does not show any orientation).
