| Text Description: |
Up to 15 cm thick (in retransported strata), however its primary thickness was likely closer to 3 cm. Tephra is laterally continuous across the section with a wavy relief of up to 40 cm reflecting the palaeo-surface variability which the Lucky Lade tephra (LLt) fell upon. The tephra is draped within an ice-wedge cast, suggesting melting at least part of the ice-wedge shortly after the tephra eruption. |
