Figure F47. A. Section-half core image of basaltic breccia in Unit V cemented by light green clays and calcite, Hole U1349A (Sample 324-U1349A-16R-6, 55–62 cm). B. Photomicrograph of florets of light green clay intergrown with Fe oxyhydroxides and cemented with calcite (Thin Section 261; Sample 324-U1349A-16R-6, 56–61 cm). C. Photomicrograph of light green clay saponite and calcite that cements the highly altered basaltic clasts in Unit V (Thin Section 253; Sample 324-U1349A-15R-3, 115–118 cm). B and C are under plane-polarized light.
