Today we finally saw a change in the character of the rock we have been drilling. We found a glassy pillow margin at the bottom of the massive unit that was about 125 feet thick. We also recovered a pillow breccia interval today that was at least a few feet thick. We have not seen a breccia interval this thick since the first few days of coring. At the time of this report, we are drilling at a depth of 10,836'.
