Text Description:	Fisher tuff seen, blocky outcrop on gently sloping hillside, almost to the flat bench. Airfall here is very thin. 5cm white/red pumice under >30cm grey pumice (LL=42x18mm)(grey is truncated by erosion). PF thickness is hard to estimate, but ~2m. At top of section tuff much richer in lithics (looks like a breccia almost) bulk sample of white/reddish pumice airfall. Check for lithics
