Over the past couple days, we have retrieved mostly pillow basalts that are extremely olivine-rich. At the margins of these pillows, there is often nearly aphyric intrusive rock that has invaded the weaker zone between pillow lobes. Drilling continues to proceed smoothly, we are currently at a depth of 11,347.6'.
