357-M0070A-1R-1,010.000SedimentFossiliferous calc sandForaminiferous carbonate sand. Contains small basaltic lithic fragments, rounded to 8mm. Munsell 10YR 7/4Structures: Open fractures=0 -- No open fractures; Veins=0 -- No veinsVeins: Shape=0 -- No veinsFractures: Morphology=No open fracturesMinerals: Carbonate
357-M0070A-1R-1,1020.100SedimentBasaltic breccia, carbonate matrixSedimentary basalt breccia with cemented matrix along sides of angular basalt fragments. At bottom matrix is oxidized (orange/brown), more brown than upper sediment. Larger pieces show an alteration? halo, variation of vesicularity between core-rim.Clasts are poorly vesicular, and in some cases plagioclase-phyric (<1mm, euhedral and occasionally laths). 23-29cm: Rubble <1.5cm
357-M0070A-2R-1,011.780RubbleBasaltic rubbleRubble of basalt breccia with loose basalt clasts at top of core. 0-5cm. Clast of basalt with <1% vesicles, larger rounded and smaller angular/irregular.Structures: Open fractures=0 -- No open fractures; Veins=0 -- No veinsVeins: Shape=0 -- No veinsFractures: Morphology=No open fracturesMinerals: Carbonate
357-M0070A-2R-1,2121.990SedimentBasaltic breccia, carbonate matrixCarbonate-cemented basaltic breccia. Carbonate matrix is reddish and oxidized, with later light cream carbonate at 65-79cm. Some of the basalt clasts have glass. Possible imbrication of fragments in matrix at 45-55cm, dip 30 degrees towards 090 in corereference frame. At 69cm one of the white matrix areas has a subhorizontal lamination and an open cavity above, suggesting the breccia has been cored in situ Microbiology sample from 78 to 97cm appears to be similar material from the photograph.Thin section at 73-77.5cm contains clasts of porphyritic fresh glass and basalt in an orange to white carbonate matrix. Foraminifera are common, espacially in the white carbonate which lacks glassy fragments. Glass is generally partially altered toyellow palagonite with concentric and tubular patterns possibly indicating a biogenic origin.Structures: Veins=0 -- No veinsVeins: Shape=0 -- No veinsMinerals: Carbonate
357-M0070A-3R-1,012.860SedimentBasaltic breccia, carbonate matrixSedimentary basaltic breccia with oxidized carbonate matrix (Munsell color: 10YR 6/6).Basalt fragments are aphyric and poorly to sparsely vesicular (generally <1%). Vesicles rounded to sub-rounded. Orange sediment contains glassy fragments. Later whitecarbonate has filled cavities. Structure suggests no rotation. Dominated by carbonate matrix a) as in above unit, with some cream-coloured matrix c) as above.0-20cm: Consolidated with angular clasts and dark orange oxidized matrix.MBIO 20-37cm - Checked - Basaltic breccia with dark carbonate matrix. One fragment remains in the archive/working half.Structures: Open fractures=0 -- No open fractures; Veins=0 -- No veins; Foliation=0 -- Massive; Cataclastic deformation=0 -- UndeformedVeins: Shape=0 -- No veinsFractures: Morphology=No open fracturesMinerals: Carbonate; Plagioclase
