SAMPLE INFO : 94SJP12
Sample ID:94SJP12
Station ID:94SJP12
Latitude:62.29
Longitude:-143.2665716
Datum:NAD83
Date Sampled:1994-00-00
Sample Type 1:Lava
Sample Type 2:Dike
Field Lithology:Dacite
 Text Description:
Approximately 20’ thick dike trending N33°E that cuts through the brecciated unit (sBA9) at Site 12. Fine grained, vesicular, holocrystalline, seriate to glomeroporphyritic with a matrix of opaque, plagioclase, orthopyroxene, microlites, zircon? and minor alteration. Plagioclase phenocrysts (An26 - An62) are up to 2.3 mm and commonly are oscillatory zoned, some grains have sieve textured cores, and rounded rims or resorption embayments. Orthopyroxene phenocrysts are up to 0.75 mm and are strongly pleochroic with some opaque inclusions. Amphibole phenocrysts are up to 1.0 mm, display green-yellow pleochroism with rims dehydrated to small opaques; some opaque amphibole pseudomorphs. Opaque phenocrysts are up to 0.2 mm.
