    Geology

    Material:Rock
    Rock Classification:VOL
    Rock Type:Hyaloclastite Tuff (HYA)
    Rock Description: 78.26-78.34m
    • Interval: 78.26-78.34m
    • Major Lithology: NN
    • Colours dry;wet: nn;N2
    • Minerals: Feldspar
    • Minerals: Carbonate; Zeolite
    • Contacts: Pyroclastic / Pyroclastic
    • Lithification: well lithified;well-bonded;nn
    • Vesicles: no
    • Matrix: no;no;nn;nn;fine ash, very poorly sorted (matrix supported)
    • Comments: Presence of calcite in the voids of the rock, but also zeolites. Prsence of a void where zeolites are covered a yellow surface layer probably due to iron's oxidation. Presence of little reddish clasts probably due to oxidation of fine minerals like titanomagnetite.
