Sample ID:Ahklun Mountains-LS-4.7ka-Tephra_average
Station ID:Ahklun_Mountains_Regional_Tephra
Latitude:59.6
Longitude:-160.39998
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
 Text Description:
This thin bed (UA 1965; 0.2cm thick) is known only from Lone Spruce Pond in the Ahklun Mountains. The tephra bed is composed predominantly of pumice with large vesicles, and some blocky pumice; tricuspate and bubble-wall shards are present, but in lower abundance than in Tephra A from the Ahklun Mountains.

Date derived from age model (using AMS dates) of Lone Spruce Pond, 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.
