From Dochat (1997): A unit, 135 cm thick, of diamicton crops out at the base of the section. Pebble to boulder sized clasts occur in a sandy matrix. Clasts are angular to subrounded and up to 25 cm in diameter. This is overlain by 17 cm of silty sand which contains a 3 cm thick layer of oxidized sandy silt. A layer of clay, 5 cm thick, overlies the sandy silty and is overlain by 14 cm of scoria. A 13 cm thick layer of silty sand with a minor gravel component overlies the scoria. A horizon of fine sand, 14 cm thick, crops out above the silty sand. An 8 cm thick layer of silt overlies the sand and is overlain by 3.5 cm of gravel and 1.5 cm of ash. A silt layer, 25 cm thick, crops out to the base of the 6 cm thick soil horizon. Unclear which unit samples correlate to, as no sample descriptions are provided. |
