High-level Description:  Trench tailings in natural lighting conditions.
Sub-angular to sub-rounded, poorly-sorted unconsolidated fragments,
sub-resolution to 5 mm in size. Blocky basalt grains dominate. Reflectance is
very high in natural light due to high water content.

Texture
Grain morphology and appearance: Sub-rounded; grains are dull and blocky,
texture is relatively smooth.
Grain size and sorting:  Very fine sand (sub-resolution) up to fine pebbles;
very poorly sorted. Average resolvable grain size is 460 microns across.
Grain fabric:  Random orientation.

Sediment structure:  none.

Color:  Mix of dark grey or black grains and white/tan and reddish grains.
Percentage is difficult to determine because of the high reflectivity of the
grains.
