7-8 1208.37 67R-3 7-8 53 16.18 Small piece (<1 cm) of hyaloclastite, pillow basalts beneath

Notes: * = no actual contacts were recovered; boundary locations are inferred between the indicated pieces. † = calculated using curated depths. NA = not applicable because the boundary is between the top of the indicated core and the bottom of the overlying core.
