It was another productive day of coring here in Hilo. We drilled and recovered five runs of rock core, and saw an interesting variety of rock types from intrusions to pillow lavas and more. The bottom half of the last run of the day (pictured) held together better than any rock we have seen in a long time. Hopefully this trend of stronger induration will persist. At the time of this report, we are at a depth of 11,050.3'.
