Text Description: The top portion of the exposure of 97EC9 consisted of coarse black sand from the active dune system on the Bering Sea shore. Underlying this was 3 cm of white mineral crystals. Directly beneath this was sample A, a 15-cm layer of mixed black to reddish yellow coarse pumiceous sand. Immediately underlying A is an organic layer, sampled for radiocarbon dating. Coarse grey sand and cobbles, interpreted as Late Wisconsin diamicton, formed the base of the exposure.
