Spurr (Anchorage)
| origin | crater Peak on the south side of Mount Spurr volcano, across Cook Inlet, Alaska, USA, 125 km west of Anchorage. The particles are from the 18 August 1992 eruption and were collected 130 km east of the volcano |
| main constituents | 57-78 wt% glass, plagioclase feldspar, opx, magnetite, amphibole, cpx |
| practical significance | interpretation of remote sensing data. Analogues of other planets' atmospheric dust, and dust in comets, asteroids, and circumstellar shells |
| particle size | measured size distributions Fraunhofer: reff=4.8 μm, veff=8.8 |
| particle shape | irregular |
| refractive index | estimated to be in the range [1.48-1.56] + i[0.0018-0.02] |
| color | dark gray |
| scattering matrix | 632.8 nm |
