When we arrived this morning, there were three long runs of core waiting for us. All three runs were composed of pillow breccia, making the interval of this rock type over 30 feet in thickness. This is the largest pillow breccia unit we have seen during the project. The next run recovered showed a change back to massive pillow lava, and this is the material we are currently coring. At the time of this report, we are drilling at a depth of 10,874'.
