SAMPLE INFO : Ahklun Mountains-Tephra-C_average
Sample ID:Ahklun Mountains-Tephra-C_average
Station ID:Ahklun_Mountains_Regional_Tephra
Latitude:59.6
Longitude:-160.39998
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
 Text Description:
Average composition of samples from Lone Spruce Pond (UA1785), Arolik Lake (Kaufman et al. 2003) (UA1791), and Sunday Lake (UA1789). Tephra C is composed entirely of crystal-rich blocky glass and pumice. It contains both brown and clear glass. Its age overlaps with that of a prominent tephra in Nimgun Lake in the Ahklun Mountains, which was not analyzed.

Ahklun_Mountains_Regional_Tephra59.6-160.39998Kaufman, D. S. 12366 ± 135 14C AMS; 7993; Age is approximate. Mean age derived from age model (using AMS dates) from dates in multiple lacustrine cores, in Kaufman and others (2012).Ahklun Mountains, southwest Alaska; glass compositions are averages calculated from analyses of multiple correlated tephra present in lacustrine cores from the area. Individual sample IDs (analyses of which contribute to the average tephra bed composition) are noted in the sample descriptions.Average composition of samples from Lone Spruce Pond (UA1785), Arolik Lake (Kaufman et al. 2003) (UA1791), and Sunday Lake (UA1789).
