F15. Interpretative
summary of the lithology, morphology, and mineralogy of basement units sampled
in the basement units at Site 1140. Boundaries for igneous Units 1-6 are
indicated. Note that the contact between Units 1 and 2 was not recovered and has
been located using downhole logging data (see "Physical
Volcanology" and "Downhole
Measurements"). The occurrence of plagioclase, olivine, and
clinopyroxene phenocrysts is indicated as well as the presence of glassy
margins. A reversal of the magnetic field occurred between the time of eruption
of Units 1 and 2 (see "Paleomagnetism").
The density log (see "Downhole
Measurements") and its interpretation are shown schematically to
provide information about the lithology of unrecovered Cores 183-1140A-29R and
30R.
