SAMPLE INFO : 54-F-51
Sample ID:54-F-51
Station ID:54-F-51
Latitude:53.818
Longitude:-167.00198
Datum:NAD83
Date Sampled:1954-01-01
Sample Type 1:Lava
Field Lithology:Basalt
 Text Description:
Olivine-bearing feldspathic basalt from the Eider Point basalt 1 mile southwest of Pakushin Cone. It is medium dark gray and contains plagioclase phenocrysts shorter than 1 mm. Phenocrysts compose 50 percent of the rock: 35 percent sodic labradorite, which forms subhedral crystals and stubby crystals, and which has normal zones, rare oscillatory zones, and some vermicular zones of intergrown groundmass; 15 percent olivine, which forms euhedral to subhedral crystals and embayed crystals. The groundmass has a granular and glassy texture and consists of much euhedral stubby calcic andesine, much subhedral to anhedral olivine, much euhedral to granular augite(?), and a trace of cristobalite(?).
