SAMPLE INFO : 47AC116
Sample ID:47AC116
Station ID:47AC116
Latitude:51.94683
Longitude:179.55766
Datum:NAD83
Date Sampled:1947-01-01
Sample Type 1:Lava
Field Lithology:Andesite
Final Unit:Threequarter Cone
 Text Description:
Andesite vitrophyre from an agglomerate from Three-quarter Cone (121,700' E, 291,900' N). This is a dark-gray rock, aphanitic, with small tabular plagioclase phenocrysts showing a parallel arrangement. About 5 percent of the rock is plagioclase phenocrysts (1 mm in diameter), having an average composition of An58. A few phenocrysts are hypersthene and olivine. The groundmass is mostly plagioclase microlites (0.05 mm long), minute granules of augite(?), and magnetite dust, in brown glass, having an index of 1.546.
