(HA) Volcanic Phenomena Suite -- The Hawaiian Islands of Hawaii and Oahu
Description
An account of the resource
These 31 samples comprise a collection of volcanic rocks associated with the hot-spot volcanism of the Hawaiian Islands. Samples were collected from various locations across the islands of Hawaii and Oahu. The collection contains samples of primarily tholeiitic & alkalic basalts, pumice, scoria, oceanite, and hawaiite.

<ul><li>This article presents two opposing views of the source of magmas for the Hawaiian volcanoes. Both views favor a deep mantle source, but try to explain differences in isotopic compositions.</li>

<ul><li>This article provides geochemical analysis of major elements as well as determinations of minor elements of volcanic rocks from the island of Hawaii. The article describes the three major rock types - tholeitic, alkalic, and nephelinic - and concludes these rock suites are chemically intergradational and are likely derived from crystal differentiation of a single parent magma.</li>

Title
A name given to the resource
Alkalic Olivine Basalt
Description
An account of the resource
Hand Sample: Aphanitic, light-gray alkalic olivine basalt. Sample contains abundant phenocrysts of feldspar, olivine, and augite. Phenocrysts range in diameter from 0.1cm to 0.5cm. Many of the phenocrysts in sample have an iridescent luster. Sample has very few vesicles, which are generally less than 0.1cm in diameter.
Thin Section: Groundmass of plagioclase grains. Phenocrysts of plagioclase, olivine and augite are abundant throughout sample.
