Comment: | Scoop sample of the pyroclasts (fragments) near the vent orifice. Full bag of sediments. This sample is mainly gravel and coarse sand sized fragments. The largest pebble is about 5 cm across. There is little unmodified primary pyroclastic material present and most glass is fairly dense (~5% vesicles). The sample contains very abundant crystals about twice as common as in the primary pyroclasts or lava samples. Altered or coated glass fragments are common. Glass is gray colored thicker pieces grey-brown. |
