Longitude:	-169.63
Datum:	NAD83
Date Sampled:	1948-01-01
Sample Type 1:	Lava

Text Description:
Sample of phyric hyalobasanite forming a dike spreading out to a sill. Phenocrysts of olivine and augite make up about 30 percent of the rock. The groundmass is fine grained with very small crystals of pyroxene, olivine, and magnetite in a meshwork of plagioclase laths and glass.
