Marlon and Jim discuss Sandy Springs pillow lava - underneath the Perrine bridge.

Taking advantage of coring break while casing is set, the Site Science Team visits basalt and rhyolite outcrops around Twin Falls to see what lava flows look like in two dimensions. Ten members of the team, including co-PI's John Shervais and Jim Evans, visited some classic exposures to view and discuss the intricacies of lava flows. DOSECC set casing on Saturday 23 October; as soon as the cement cures we will be coring again.
