PETROLOGIC DATA

Rock Number: 1

Rock Type: dacite
Descriptors:
aphyric

Field Description:

-beige weathering, grey on fresh surface, appears to be massive with no layering
-there is an odd mafic segregation at 1 to 2 mm size distributed uniformly
-this may indicate a pyroclastic origin as these may be devitrified glass fragments
-this massive fine grained unit is capped by a dense cherty textured segment overlain by up to 10 cm of fine laminated silty tuffs
-the tuff is overlain by a dark greenish black lithic GRCK with pebbly horizons containing dacite clasts

Rock Number: 2

Rock Type: greywacke
Descriptors:
pebbly
mafic

Field Description:

-unknown thickness of well bedded GRCK and MAFC matrix supported CGLM
-pebbly layers are dominantly breccia fragments of APHY DCIT
-fragments have very low rounding sphericity values
-the pebbly layers also contain irregular blocks up to metres in size of DCIT and laminated DCIT tuff
-bedding surfaces are the very irregular both from deformation and the original paleo topography
