Final unit:
Text Description: Thin, discontinuous tephra with a maximum thickness of 3 cm. Occurs just over 4 m above the base of unit B (see Westgate and others, 2013). Pumiceous glass with sparse amounts of bubble-wall shards. Abundant hornblende (greenish-brown in color), hypersthene, and plagioclase; Fe-Ti oxides and oxyhornblende are present but not conspicuous.
