STRUCTURAL DATA

Planar Structures:
Structure type Strike Dip Separation
schistosity 82 85

PETROLOGIC DATA

Rock Number: 1

Rock Type: conglomerate

Field Description:

-very unusual station--may be a more extensive regolith than encountered previously
-essentially consists of a series of magnesian silty sediments with honey amphibole, dark brilliant green ultramafic layers with fibrous green amphibole
-vuggy calcareous silts with radial patches of brown fibrous amphibole and garnetiferous amphibolitic conglomerate with cobbles of unit 1 tonalite
-whole outcrop has a rusty gossan appearance

SAMPLE
1 -conglomerate
2 -silty amphibole-carbonate rock
3 -ultramafic sediment
4 -silty amphibolite with pale green amphibole
5 -contact between ultramafic and sandy unit

-looks to be a zone of altered mafic seds at the regolith contact-CGLM to north, mafic sediments to south
