| Text Description: | Sample of block of dense glassy pyroclast. Similar blocks, radially fractured and up to ~80 cm, litter the surface of this ridge, rather than coming from a unit in section, and are thus presumably very young. Porphyritic two-pyroxene dacite with ~40% phenocrysts and glomerocrysts (individual pyroxene and plagioclase crystals typically 1.0 x 0.3 mm) in a groundmass of clear glass with only minor microlites. Conchoidal fractures in the glass suggest collapse of former vesicles. This is the only Douglas sample collected in 1991 with abundant glass. |
