The core processing team was busy today, as a lot of highly fractured core was recovered that we had to piece back together as best we could. We saw pillow basalts for the most part today, with pillow breccia intervals from 1-10 cm in between them. The drillers are still encountering regions of high water pressure as we drill, and dealing with it by mixing heavier batches of drilling mud. At the time of this report, we are currently drilling at a depth of 10,458'.
