SAMPLE INFO : 54-D-62
Sample ID:54-D-62
Station ID:54-D-62
Latitude:53.971
Longitude:-166.65098
Datum:NAD83
Date Sampled:1954-01-01
Sample Type 1:Lava
Field Lithology:Basalt
 Text Description:
Feldspathic basalt porphyry from the Makushin volcanics 1 1/4 miles west of Wide Bay Cone. It is light gray to medium light gray and contains pyroxene phenocrysts one-third millimeter long. Phenocrysts compose 5 percent of the rock and include augite or diopside, which forms euhedral to anhedral crystals and crystal clusters. The groundmass has a felty to coarsely crystalline texture and includes abundant subhedral laths of sodic to calcic labradorite with normal zones and faint oscillatory zones, much granular and anhedral augite (?), and subhedral and anhedral olivine and magnetite.
