Reworked into multiple, thin, discontinuous beds over a stratigraphic interval of 20 cm in sands and silts about 50 cm above the top of the Upper White Channel gravel. Colluvial silt with organic-rich beds overlies Paradise Hill tephra. Crystal-rich with abundant hornblende, plagioclase, and FeTi oxides and minor amounts of hypersthene, apatite and zircon. Mostly highly inflated pumice, although
some chunky glass of low vesicularity is present but very rare in Paradise Hill tephra. |
