High-level Description:  Trench tailings in natural lighting conditions.
Angular to sub-rounded, poorly-sorted unconsolidated fragments, 200 microns to
10 mm in size. Lithology appears to be varied, with basalt grains dominating.
Grains are wet, so reflectance is high.

Texture
Grain morphology and appearance: Angular to sub-rounded; sphericity is
intermediate to high (0.68-0.81); grains are dull and somewhat rough in
texture. Average size is 800 microns.
Grain size and sorting:  Fine/medium sand up to very small cobbles; very
poorly sorted.
Grain fabric:  Random orientation.

Sediment structure:  none.

Color:  Dark grey/black (basaltic) grains predominate, though 5% are
white/tan, reddish or clear.
