SAMPLE INFO : UT746
Sample ID:UT746
Station ID:Eva_II
Latitude:64.8516
Longitude:-148.015
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
 Text Description:
Microfaulted bed, up to 6 cm thick, that is preserved in a solifluction fold; dark-colored minerals are concentrated in the 1-cm-thick basal layer that is overlain by a 2-cm-thick, white, vitric component that is capped by reworked, cross-bedded, crystal-rich sand. Undulatory basal contact. 7.5Y8/2.
