ContentsTop (m)Base (m)
Fresh black aphyric dacite. Well developed thick glass crusts on upper and lower surfaces of pillows. Very sparse plagioclase phenocrysts (1 per 4-5 blocks). Moderately vesicular, but vesicles do not exceed 1 cm in diameter. Conchoidal fractures.
Fresh black aphyric dacite. Consists of thick (>5 cm) crumbly glass encrusting pillows. The lower surfaces of the pillows have an unusual honeycomb (in 3d) texture suggesting possible formation above a hollow lava tube (although unambiguous drips were not present). Interpreted as a separate but young lava flow.
Dark grey to black aphyric dacite. Similar to 33-01, but locally Fe-stained (orange) surfaces and large (2-3 cm) vesicle cavities. Interpreted as an older flow. Also has less glass crust.
