GRD0278T0: Slide 1: Large, rounded clasts with occasional rounded crystals in a fine-grained matrix. Most clasts are extrusive igneous rocks that contain feldspar laths and Fe-stained blebs. The large rounded crystals are typically pyroxene or olivine. Thin section is not polished nor has a cover-slide. (C. Eichler)
