Sample ID: UT613 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Station ID: UT613
AT Num:
Volcano:
Possible source:
Eruption: Old Crow Tephra
Collector: Westgate, J. A.
Date sampled:
Sample type 1: Tephra Fall
Color:
Final unit:
Text Description: From Preece et al. (2011): 35 to 45 cm thick. Tephra in periglacial fining-upward sand and silt aeolian unit that overlies distal outwash deposit and underlies a reworked, slightly organic to peaty silt deposit. It is weakly laminated to massively bedded within massive loess near top of eolian unit. Ice-wedge casts are located at the top of aeolian unit and locally deform OCt (Waythomas et al., 1993).
