SAMPLE INFO : 10AZnye01h
Sample ID:10AZnye01h
Station ID:10AZ01
Latitude:51.92876
Longitude:-176.55292
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Lava
Sample Type 2:Dome
 Text Description:
This outcrop is a large lava mass consisting of host lava with abundant rounded magmatic inclusions several cn to 10s of cm across. Host is porphyritic pl-hb andesite w/ 15% pl (5-10mm) and 5% hb (1-3mm) in a finegrained light greenish-grey gms. Inclusions are very fine-grained and equigranular with pl, px, hb in randomly oriented xl <<1mm (save a few percent mm-sized hb crystals). Northermost of three domes shown by Coats (1956, USGS Bull 1028-C), who calls these, and two others near downtown Adak, Ta, Andesite porphyry domes. Coats notes these domes are glaciated (thus pre-late Pleistocene), but don't share the structural style of surrounding Finger Bay volcanics (thus not buried, much younger). Coats assigns an early Tertiary age (but he assigns late T to Moffet and Adagdak volcanoes; mid T to Andrew Bay volcano; and Paleozoic to FBvolcs -- clearly too old. My guess would be early to mid Pleisotcene for these domes.).

10AZ0151.92876-176.55292Nye, C. J.2010-08-10 AZ stands for "Adak Zeto". Samples are from the northernmost of three domes along the eastern margin of a 1x2.5 km of slightly raised topography (which is connected by tombolos to Adagdak (north) and the main island (west) and forms the southeast margin of Clam Lagoon). Samples are from the prominent quarry on the west side of this dome adjacent to the road.This outcrop is a large lava mass consisting of host lava with abundant rounded magmatic inclusions several cn to 10s of cm across.
