High-level Description:  Trench tailings in natural lighting conditions.
Angular to sub-rounded, poorly-sorted unconsolidated fragments, 100 microns to
5 mm in size. Basalt grains appear to dominate, some vesicular but most
blocky. Reflectance is high in natural light.

Texture
Grain morphology and appearance: Angular to sub-rounded; grains are dull and
somewhat rough in texture. Very few vesicular grains are present. Average size
is 900 microns.
Grain size and sorting:  Fine sand up to very coarse pebbles; 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 (most of these are reddish).
