Second chromite layer with thickness of nearly 1 m
2024-07-12: UCZ LG-6 chromitite

This afternoon, we intersected two LG-6 massive chromitite seams separated by a 1m thick pyroxenite layer. The first seam was encountered at 606.1 m with a thickness of 0.40 m, and the second seam at 607.4 m with a thickness of 0.95 m. The seams have been sampled for microbiology purposes.
