| Comment | This sample was hand picked from cuttings between 3000 to 3010 ft depths in drill hole UE20F, and appears to represent the lithology at these depths. The cuttings, to 10 mm diameter, contain considerable amounts of fine material. The sample is pinkish gray zeolitic nonwelded tuff with scarce, small light greenish gray pumice to 1 mm diameter, and lithics, mostly dark grayish red, and rare biotite. Quartz is evident. |
