Rock name: | Mafic Volcanic Breccia and possible pillow? |
Comments: | Mn crust 1-2 mm, large basaltic clast within volcanic breccia > calcite/clay matrix > unable to tell if clast or matrix supported > thick alteration along veins. abundant iddingsite and plagioclase phenocrysts > possibly a pillow lava due to shape?. refer to the diagram |
