Mineral Survey Record
Scanner-Preserved Data
Field Description
Large rounded formations distributed near the basin floor.
The phrase “Powerful Heat Source” is retained as scanner-generated metadata and is not treated as an independently verified field conclusion.
Preliminary Geological Assessment
The rounded form is distinct from nearby angular and layered specimens. The scanner classifies the specimen as explosive-magma formed, but the field record does not independently verify an eruptive origin or heat output.
Interpretations reflect the currently preserved field image and scanner record only and may be revised as additional evidence is authenticated.
Questions Retained
- Whether the formation is a single body or one of a repeated local population.
- Whether the scanner’s heat-source note reflects active emission or stored thermal properties.
- Internal structure and subsurface extent.
- Distribution outside the Serene Basin floor.
Archive Significance
Lematibe contributes one authenticated explosive magma-classified mineral record to the geological inventory of Serene Basin. Its preserved field appearance and scanner metadata support future comparison with specimens documented at other Ironleaf survey sites.
Preservation Justification
Retained as a scanner-verified specimen from Survey Site Alpha. Preservation supports later comparison of scanner classifications, visible morphology, and site distribution as the Ironleaf planetary survey expands.
