1. Sample consists of mainly white, soft, rounded to angular blebs completely surrounded by a uniform dark brown matrix.

2. Sample consists of dark rounded blebs surrounded by a non-uniform white matrix.

3. Sample has homogeneous light brown interior with a few small vesicles. The exterior looks like a fairly regular, dark brown fusion crust with some patterning.

4. Sample appears to have been distorted. The dominant phase is made of rounded light tan fragments containing many void spaces. A dark brown think layer fills spaces between some rounded fragments. There are some large foreign inclusions.

5. Sample is totally dark brown with two phases. The dominant phase is shiny and crumbly. The other phase is dense and slightly lighter in color. A light fusion crust appears on only one side.

6. Outside: Thin medium brown layer with ripple marks on the bottom. Inside: Bottom – (~1/3) flat dense buff layer; Top – (~2/3) pebbles consolidated in a fine-grained tan matrix.

7. Outside: Thin medium brown layer with wavy ripple marks on the bottom. Inside: Bottom – dense dark buff layer; top – shiny, smooth, medium tan layer.

8. Outside: Thin medium brown layer with wavy ripples on the bottom. Inside: Bottom – poorly consolidated light tan porous layer; Top – shiny smooth medium tan layer.

9. Outside: Thin, medium brown, edges higher on outside of top, sides slanted. Inside: smooth material that is yellowish brown and sticky.
