| Rock name: | Mn- oxide nodule coating a vesicular, olivine-phyric basalt cobble |
| Comments: | Mn-crust 55 mm, maybe two or more vesicular basalt clasts in this nodule. Olivine-phyric cobble displays vesicles up to 2 mm across that fine towards the edge (marked by fine grained brown basalt), of the clast on the inside of the nodule. All vesicles opherical. |
