Pumice fragments are scattered throughout lithology, with some larger fragments (above 2.0 mm) appearing towards the bottom of the lithology.50.0-79.0 & 83.0-89.5 & 93.0-110 cm: Volcaniclastic sand, displaying different depositional evens as seen by the planar bedding; this can be seen both in Cat scan and visually.Composition of sediment is mostly (80%) composed of dark brown volcanic glass and 20% forams. 79.0-83 & 85.5-93.0 & 110-141.5cm: Calcareous sand, light brown to light green color, in smear slide 80% of sediment is composed of forams and/or other fossils.The other 20 % is composed of dark brown volcanic clasts, glass fragments, and pumice. At the bottom of the lithology mixing of both types of lithologies can be seen where it then gradates to planar bedding sediment at the bottom.2010-09-27T15:10:36
331-C0017A-1H-5,0.05.6405.640331-C0017A-1H-5,139.57.0357.0350.0-73.0 cm: Light green planar bedding calcareous sand, gradation to a olive green silty mud begins to occur at about 55 cm. Top of lithology from 0.0 about 15 cm has small pumice clasts scattered throughout.Calcareous sand is composed of 80 % forams and 20 % volcanic dark brown glass. Silty mud layer below 55 cm also has high foram concentrations (70 %) and fine grained dark brown volcanic glass. 73.0-98.0 cm: MBIO/IW - Silty mud.98.0-138.5 cm: Olive green clay. Fizzes with 25 % HCl indicates the presence of calcium carbonate bearing material. Two small layers of calcareous sand appear at 102 cm, which contain much higher concentration of forams.Dark brown volcanic glass (5 - 10 %) interdispersed throughout lithology. Drilling disturbance is moderate in entire section, as seen with the sligh bending in the planar bedding.2010-09-27T10:56:20
331-C0017A-1H-6,0.07.0357.035331-C0017A-1H-6,139.08.4258.4250.0-106.0 cm: Olive green clay. No clear visual sign of any pumice, fossil, or volcanic material present. The entire lithology does fiz when 25 % HCl is dropped on sediment, so obvious indication that forams and other CaCO3 bearing fossils are present.In smear slide inspection small amounts of forams were observed (~5 %), also ~2 % volcanic glass represented by clear shards of material. Remnants, small pieces of pumice were also observed. Shell fragments are seen.106.0-117.0 cm: Gradation from clay to pumiceous gravel matrix supported, in this case the matrix being the olive green clay from the above lithology. Small pumice clasts begin to appear ranging from 1-3 cm in size.117.0-138.5cm: Pumiceous gravel clast supported. Pumice clasts ranging up to 5.0cm. Olive green mud surrounds the clasts but does not make up the matrix.Closer inspection of the mud matrix material in smear slide shows abundant amounts of fossils, mostly forams. Shell fragments are also found; some long-needle like fossils also present.Shards of glass are clearly seen; also dark green to brown volcanic clast are present, along with microscopic pumice grains. Forams probably make up 10 % of the mud matrix, another 10-30 % is made up of volcanics.2010-09-27T12:41:13
