The most productive day of drilling so far

Today we processed 117 feet of rock core, all of which had been drilled the day and night before.  So far, that is the most rock drilled in a 24 hour period on this project.  Luckily our core processing team was at full strength today and able to handle all the rock.  I didn't have time to take a picture, but rest assured we are seeing interesting features in the rocks every single day.  Some of today's highlights include processing rock extremely rich in olivine, finding numerous distinct pahoehoe flow lobes with preserved ropy surface textures, and thin nonvesicular regions within pahoehoe flows that I haven't come up with an explanation for yet.
