Station: CRH47

Station ID: CRH47 [1] [2] [3]
Volcano:
Collector: Westgate, J. A.
Date visited:
NAD83 latitude: 68.425
NAD83 longitude: -140.3891667
Default location: No
Location description: Located on the northern part of the Old Crow Basin on the right bank of the Old Crow River. North-facing exposure tjat ois nearly 2 km long and about 24 km high, and occurs on a tight hairpin bend. Initially visited by J.V. Matthews Jr., Charles Schweger, and Richard Morlan during the 1980s as part of reconnaissance studies on Quaternary deposits exposed in the bluffs of the Old Crow River. Site designation made by C.R. Harington. Site revisited by John Westgate in 1985 as part of stratigraphic investigations and Westgate and others (2013) characterize for lithostratigraphic units present from river level to the top of the exposure. Coordinates provided as degrees/minutes/seconds in Westgate and others (2013) and converted to decimal degrees; datum not specified, assumed to be NAD83.
