Logged to 3127.6 feet, 177 units

Today we logged core boxes to a depth of 3127.6 ft, 209.6 ft deeper than three days ago.  So far we have identified 177 lithologic units; from the expected pahoehoe, ʻaʻa, soil, ash, cinder and intrusions to surprising dune sands, sandstones, conglomerates, and glacial till deposits.  Soon we'll be stacking and wrapping up another pallet of rock boxes to put into storage, and logging some of the most complex intrusions recovered from the entire first phase of drilling.  I'll try and post a picture of one or both of these by early next week.
