Caption from Oceanus magazine, vol. 49, no. 3, pg. 55:
The scientists wanted to look inside the pillow lava, so they brought it to a rock quarry in Rhode Island equipped with mammoth saws that usually cut large slabs of granite. Inside of the cut-open pillow lava, they found something that had never been observed before. Embedded within the lava were pockets of sediments from the seafloor.
