SAMPLE INFO : UT50
Sample ID:UT50
Station ID:UT50
Latitude:67.81
Longitude:-139.49
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
Sample Type 2:Bulk
Text Description:
5 cm thick. The tephra occurs in cryogenically deformed, late-Pleistocene fluvial deposits located below the glaciolacustrine silt and clay that form a conspicuous, dark, recessive unit close to the top of the bluff. No other information provided.
