Color:	cream
Final unit:
Text Description:	Sub-sample of 30-cm-thick tephra. Thick, continuous tephra bed within the Upper Gold Hill Loess overlying basement schist and about 3 m below a laminated organic silt containing SD tephra. Lower 14 cm consist of four subhorizontal fining-upward layers, which are covered by 16 cm of reworked tephra. This sample is the lowest subunit: 7.5YR8/2, slightly coarser, pinker, and lighter (when unoxidized) than the 3 overlying subunits (UT896, 897, 898).
