Comment: | Sample consists of the material that was deposited in the drawer during a large explosion when Jason was sampling water on the edge of the Prometheus vent. The finer sediment fractions is 70% mineral grains of opx, cpx, and ol, in decreasing order of abundance, angular to rounded rock fragments to 4 cm (although larger ones were emptied from the drawer to regain buoyancy), glass fragments that are commonly abraded and rounded, coated and altered glass and crystal fragments, and minor sulfur spherules that are generally pitted. The coarser fractions include abundant rounded lithic clasts, usually with little or no glass remaining, more angular lithic fragments, and smooth moderately-vesicular spatter fragments. |
