Dredge Baby Dredge

On our penultimate day on site, we carried out four dredges. Two stunning successes, one with a rock so huge that we could n’t get it out of the dredge basket without smashing it and both dredges recovering very interesting evolved lavas. Could be exciting, could be very exciting……

The largest rock comes aboard.

The largest rock- which had to be broken to get it out of the dredge basket- reconstructed. Notice the feet for scale.

Then we lucked out; two barren dredges.. and the crowd groaned.

Last day tomorrow and hopefully a couple more dredges before we leave.
