Text Description:	Lava pod in post fisher? Ignimbrite (not equiv of CN32 - too much cpx, ol). Basalt w/ 30% phenos of pl~=cpx~=ol to 3 mm\| field lithology: basaltic andesite\| vent type: \| dist. to summit in km: -- \| series: LRB (removed stats)\|azimuth -- Schaefer et al. reinterpret this unit as reworked volcaniclastics and not an ignimbrite. The chemistry matches that of other Pleistocene lavas and Holocene cinder cones and it is not noted or exposed elsewhere. We interpret it as upper flank lahar deposits containing reworked volcaniclastics.
