SAMPLE INFO : 72-ARh-307
Sample ID:72-ARh-307
Station ID:72-ARh-307
Latitude:62.0114
Longitude:-143.28308
Datum:NAD83
Date Sampled:1972-00-00
Sample Type 1:Lava
Sample Type 2:Flow
Text Description:
Dacitic andesite and dacite flows. Thick sequence of thin to medium flows with minor interbedded tuffs and breccias representing main cone-building state of Jarvis volcanoes which extend into the McCarthy D-7 and Nabesna A-6 quadrangles. Rocks are gray, dark gray, and pinkish gray. Chiefly two-pyroxene andesite containing hypersthene, augite, plagioclase, and rare olivine phenocrysts in a felty plagioclase-rich matrix. In southwest corner of quadrangle sequence is cut by numerous dark-colored dikes probably chiefly of andesite composition. K-Ar date (M.A. Lanphere, written commun., 1974) on plagioclase indicates age of 1.63 +/- 0.42 m.y. (Sample 72-ARh-307a).
