SAMPLE INFO : 54-F-57
Sample ID:54-F-57
Station ID:54-F-57
Latitude:53.798
Longitude:-167.00598
Datum:NAD83
Date Sampled:1954-01-01
Sample Type 1:Lava
Field Lithology:Basalt
 Text Description:
Olivine-bearing basalt porphyry from Makushin basalt and andesite, 2 1/2 miles southwest of Pakushin Cone. It is pale purple to medium light gray and contains plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine phenocrysts 1-2 millimeters long. Phenocrysts compose 15 percent of the rock: 9 percent labradorite, which forms euhedral to subhedral stubby crystals having normal and oscillatory zones; 2 percent subhedral augite(?); 3 percent anhedral olivine with augite(?) reaction rims ; 1 percent subhedral to anhedral and embayed magnetite(?). The groundmass has crudely trachytic to intergranular texture and includes abundant subhedral laths and stubby crystals of calcic labradorite, much granular augite(?); a trace of a granular opaque mineral, and a trace of cristobalite(?). Alteration is slight; olivine and magnetite(?) alter to hematite and limonite.
