Core Data from the Deep Sea Drilling Project


Leg : 13    Top/Bottom Interval(mm):    0/   0  Describer: Hsu, K.
Hole: 134B  Top of Core Depth(m)   :    67.00   Rock Type: METAMORPHIC
Core:   1   Sample Midpoint(m)     :    67.10   Sect/Pc #: CC/

ROCK = PHYLLITE
       LAMINATED,DARK GRAY,SOURCE IS IR,THE MINERAL
       ASSEMBLAGE SUGGESTS REXTLLIZATION UNDER LOW
       GREENSCHIST FACIES CONDITIONS*

Groundmass - MAGNETITE
             STREAKS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT,A PRIMARY SET OF
             SCHISTOSITY IS PARALLEL TO THE COMPOSITIONAL
             LAYERING WHILE ANOTHER SET OF FRACTURE CLEAVAGES
             IS SUBPARALLEL TO SOME ANNEALED SHEARED FRACTURES
             WHICH CUT THE BEDDING PLANE AT AN APPARENT ANGLE
             OF 55 DEGREES,INDIVIDUAL LAMINAE RANGE FROM A
             FRACTION OF A MILLIMETER TO A FEW MILLIMETERS
             THICK*

Alteration - SERICITE

             CHLORITE
             UP TO .01MM FLAKES;

             CLAY MINERALS

             SILT
             FINE SILT DETRITAL GRAINS,THESE MINERALS ARE THE
             LIGHTER LAMINAE-THE DARKER ARE EVEN FINER IN GRAIN
             SIZE*




Leg : 13    Top/Bottom Interval(mm):    0/   1  Describer: Hsu, K.
Hole: 134B  Top of Core Depth(m)   :    67.00   Rock Type: METAMORPHIC
Core:   1   Sample Midpoint(m)     :    67.00   Sect/Pc #: CC/

ROCK = METAGRAYWACKE AND PHYLLITE
       INTERLAMINATED GRAYWACKE,SOURCE IS IR,THIS THIN
       SECTION IS CUT FROM A SPECIMEN ADJACENT TO 134B-1-
       CC,THE PHYLLITE IS SIMILAR TO 134B-1-CC,THIS
       SAMPLE IS DESIGNATED PIECE A,THE METAGRAYWACKE
       INCLUDES ANGULAR GRAINS OF QUARTZ(UP TO .03MM)
       SCATTERED IN A SERICITIC-CHLORITIC MATRIX,ALSO
       PRESENT IS A MODIFIED AND SHEARED BORING-TUBE
       WHICH CUTS ACROSS THE BEDDING PLANE,BOTH SETS OF
       SCHISTOSITY(PARALLEL AND INCLINED TO BEDDING)ARE
       PRESENT*
