Station: HH-62-228

Station ID: HH-62-228 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Volcano:
Collector: Westgate, J. A.
Date visited:
NAD83 latitude: 67.46
NAD83 longitude: -139.9
Default location: No
Location description: Big Bluff section of the Old Crow Lowlands, located along the Porcupine River in the Yukon Territory. The bluff is 55 m high and made up mostly of fluvial and lacustrine sediments. Station ID is from Hughes (1972); radiocarbon dates and magnetic polarity sequence reported in Pearce et al. (1982). Preece et al. (2011) also refer to this site as Ch'ijee's Bluff, Bluefish Basin.
