Core Data from the Deep Sea Drilling Project

Leg :  5    Top/Bottom Interval(mm):    0/   0  Analyst:
Hole:  32   Sample Midpoint (m)    :   212.00
Core:  13   Top of Core Depth (m)  :   212.00
Sect:  1    Top of Section Depth(m):   212.00

LITHOLOGY: DOLOMITIC MUD AND BASALT;

  Piece No.  : PCE NO PCE NUMBERS ASSIGNED;

  Texture    : APHANITIC, SOME FRAGMENTS HAVE PARTIAL RINDS OF
               GLASS (PALAGONITIC);

  Structure  : CARB FILLS SOME FRACTURES AND ALSO RIMS DEPRESSIONS;

  Comments   : BASALT FRAGMENTS ARE BLACK, CORE CONSISTS OF ABOUT
               5 INCHES BLACK DOLOMITIC MUD AND 5 INCHES OF BASALT
               WHICH WAS BROKEN INTO 10 PCES, BOTTOM CONTACT OF
               MUD IS NOT PRESERVED BUT THIS SEDIMENT APPARENTLY
               OVERLIES THE BASALT;

  Vesicles   :
               Location:            Filling: OTHER
               MICROVESICLES ARE RARE BUT ARE PRESENT, AND MANY
               ARE LINED WITH SECONDARY MINERALS;

  Replacement: PALAGONITE
               PALAGONITIC GLASS;

               CARBONATE
               FILLS FRACTURES AND RIMS DEPRESSIONS;


Leg :  5    Top/Bottom Interval(mm):    0/   0  Analyst:
Hole:  32   Sample Midpoint (m)    :   214.00
Core:  14   Top of Core Depth (m)  :   214.00
Sect:  1    Top of Section Depth(m):   214.00

LITHOLOGY: BASALT;
           SIMILAR TO THE BASALT IN CORE 13;

  Piece No.  : PCE NO PCE NUMBERS ASSIGNED;

  Texture    : PARTLY GLASSY (HYPOHYALINE), WITH CARB RINDS;

  Comments   : FRAGMENTS OF BASALT, LARGEST FRAGMENT MEASURES ABOUT
               2.5 INCHES (LONGEST DIAMETER), TOTAL RECOVERY IS
               ABOUT 2 FEET;

  Vesicles   : CONTAINS MICROVESICLES;

  Replacement: CARBONATE
               CARB RINDS;
