It was an interesting day of coring today, as we recovered massive pillow basalts and then brecciated pillows with similar mineralogy. We have seen both textures earlier during this phase of the project, but the long interval of massive material made the breccia a surprise when it suddenly appeared. At the time of this report, we are currently drilling at a depth of 10,364'.
