PETROLOGIC DATA

Rock Number: 1

Rock Type: conglomerate
Descriptors:
polymictic

Field Description:

-section from north point to middle of island as follows:35 metres south facing moderatly sorted pebble conglomerate with rare calcareous arenite interbeds 10 to 40 cm thick
-clast size--> fairly constant at 4 x 10 cm
-overlain by 4 metres of dark grey semipelitic matrix supported conglomerate
-50 metres of interlayered trough crossbedded quartz rich sandstone and poorly sorted but slightly graded channel conglomerates overlain by a thick section of coarse unsorted ungraded clast supported conglomerate with a clast range from granule to metre sized boulder
-clast composition extremly heterolithic, including intermediate to ultramafic intrusives
-granitoids of all types and many types of sediments including clasts of matrix supported conglomerate
-grey coarse grained grannodiorite is the single dominant clast type at about 20%
-there is greater than 100 metres exposed with no significant variation
************
revisit later to this belt shows that there are large isoclinal folds causing tops reversals. The interpreted largely monoclinal section is in error and bed thicknesses largely meaningless
