Lithostratigraphy

Of the two holes drilled at Site C0016, Hole C0016A failed to recover any core and Hole C0016B recovered only 2.095 m of core, over a drilled interval from 0 to 45 mbsf, corresponding to a recovery of 4.7%. Additionally, all material recovered from the site is either hydrothermal precipitate or strongly hydrothermally altered volcanic rock. It is therefore not sensible to attempt a discussion of lithostratigraphy for Site C0016. Readers are referred to “Petrology” for a detailed description of the hydrothermal and altered volcanic lithologies recovered from the site.
