Text Description: Uppermost tephra at station DK96-33. Comprises much of a 20-cm-thick zone of convoluted, tan to reddish-brown, organic-rich sandy silt that rests on a deformed base. Purest material was sampled at 7.8 to 7.9 m above sea level. Reworked tephra is also found above this zone as pods and deformed layers and is disseminated in the organic-rich silt. The glass consists of bubble-wall shards and poorly vesicular shards and pumice.
