(These were exactly like the major rocks of the mountains surrounding Ushuaia). One large piece of diorite was found: slightly weathered, with one fresh surface-possibly freshly broken off. One large piece of possible Tracyte porphyry. One medium-sized piece of olivene basalt. LARGE SPECIMEN(S) DISCARDED NOVEMBER 2012. |
