SAMPLE INFO : 47AC110
Sample ID:47AC110
Station ID:47AC110
Latitude:51.93569
Longitude:179.5848
Datum:NAD83
Date Sampled:1947-01-01
Sample Type 1:Lava
Sample Type 2:Flow
Final Unit:Cerberus
 Text Description:
Specimen 47AC110 (131,000' E., 282,250' N.) is from a relatively short flow, which was sampled on the southeast side of the southeast peak of Mount Cerberus. It is a dark-gray (N 3) dense vitrophyre, with a seriate texture. About 25 percent of the rock is plagioclase (1 mm in size), averaging about An45; the other phenocrysts are augite, sparse hypersthene (En65,) in slender needles, apatite as pseudodichroic prisms, and magnetite. The groundmass consists of plagioclase microlites, augite, and magnetite in pale-brown glass.
