SAMPLE INFO : 94SJP28
Sample ID:94SJP28
Station ID:94SJP28
Latitude:62.43879366
Longitude:-143.1263031
Datum:NAD83
Date Sampled:1994-00-00
Sample Type 1:Lava
Sample Type 2:Flow
Field Lithology:Andesite
 Text Description:
Approximately 15’ thick flow that is only locally massive at the base of unit nA1 at Site 5. Fine-grained, vesicular, diktytaxitic, holocrystalline, locally intergranular, seriate porphyritic with a matrix of mesostasis, opaque, plagioclase, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and yellow alteration. There is a fine granular patch of clinopyroxene partially enclosed in plagioclase (reaction?). Plagioclase phenocrysts (An31 - An53) are up to 2.2 mm and some have sieve textured zones (core, intermediate or rim) and complex zonation. Orthopyroxene phenocrysts are up to 1.1 mm and some have clinopyroxene rims and/or sieve textured zones. Clinopyroxene phenocrysts are up to 0.1 mm and needle-like. An altered phase, olivine?, is present.
