The area shown in each slide is approximately 0.9 x 1.2 mm. Olivine phenocrysts are as much as 2 mm in longest dimension, but average close to 0.5 mm. Clinopyroxene crystals are small and equant, rarely exceeding 0.1 mm in length and close to 0.01 mm in their short dimension. Slide 1 shows a cluster of euhedral olivine phenocrysts in a matrix of light brown glass sprinkled with tiny equant pyroxene crystals and a few crystals of plagioclase, which has just begun to crystallize. A flat plate of newly formed plagioclase is seen in one corner of the slide.

The area shown in each slide is approximately 0.9 x 1.2 mm. Olivine phenocrysts are as much as 2 mm in longest dimension, but average close to 0.5 mm. Clinopyroxene crystals are small and equant, rarely exceeding 0.1 mm in length and close to 0.01 mm in their short dimension. Slide 5 shows an interlocking network of pyroxene, plagioclase, and opaque minerals, the interstices of which are filled with a light-brown glass containing small needles of apatite. Published as Slide 5 in U.S. Geological Survey publication titled, "Crystallization of basalt in Makaopuhi lava lake, Hawaii: descriptive material to accompany of set of 7 colored slides illustrating "Crystallization of basalt in Makaopuhi lava lake, Hawaii"....

The area shown in each slide is approximately 0.9 x 1.2 mm. Olivine phenocrysts are as much as 2 mm in longest dimension, but average close to 0.5 mm. Clinopyroxene crystals are small and equant, rarely exceeding 0.1 mm in length and close to 0.01 mm in their short dimension. Slide 6 shows a rock collected below the solidus of 990 degree C. Not easily seen in the slide (but evident under a high power microscope objective) are small pools of clear glass that is retained metastably below the solidus. The decrease in intensity of the color of the glass going from slide 4 to slide 6 is caused by a decrease in abundance of iron and titanium, which are taken up in the opaque phases. The large olivine phenocryst...

Album caption: Photograph of field studies. Measurement of oxygen fugacity. The oxygen probe sheathed in ceramic is attached to a hollow stainless steel rod through which platinum leads are threaded. The leads are connected to an electrometer (lower right) from which the emf is read. Temperature measurements are made in analagous fashion using thermocouple wire threaded through ceramic leads and sheathed in stainless steel; leads are connected through a cold junction (ice-filled thermos jug at lower right) to a millivolt potentiometer (not shown). Kilauea Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Hawaii County, Hawaii. circa.1965. Published as figure 9A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 1004. 1977.

The area shown in each slide is approximately 0.9 x 1.2 mm. Olivine phenocrysts are as much as 2 mm in longest dimension, but average close to 0.5 mm. Clinopyroxene crystals are small and equant, rarely exceeding 0.1 mm in length and close to 0.01 mm in their short dimension. Slide 3 is taken of a non-porphyritic assemlage of pyroxene cyrstals and plagioclase laths surrounded by glass of a deep reddish-brown hue. This specimen was collected at a temperature just above that of the first appearance of opaque minerals. The change in color of the glass from slide 1 to slide 3 reflects increasing iron and litanium content of glass with falling temperature. Published as Slide 3 in U.S. Geological Survey publication...

Clinopyroxene crystals are small and equant, rarely exceeding 0.1 mm in length and close to 0.01 mm in their short dimension. Slide 2 shows a light-colored olivine phenocrysts adjacent to a darker cluster of pyroxene microphenocrysts set in a matrix of glass darker than that of slide 1. Groundmass pyroxene crystals are still small but plagioclase laths are fairly abundant and well formed.
