Abstract

Description

The enclosed core descriptions were compiled and edited by Louisa Douma, Angela Dobson and Paul T. Robinson using detailed core descriptions written by the observers listed on the individual core forms. Graphic representations were drafted by the Cyprus Geological Survey. During description of the core, cooling units were identified and numbered sequentially down the ~ole. The unit numbers designate the· core ~ box in which the unit first appears. Contacts were drawn at the tops of individual pillows and at massive basalt flow margins. Among the secondary minerals that occur throughout the section, chlorite and smectite were impossible to distinguish in the field and are listed usually as smectite or layer silicates. · Individual zeolites could only rarely be distinguished in hand specimen. Estimates of groundmass alteration were made from hand specimens and are approximate at best
