SAMPLE INFO : UT745
Sample ID:UT745
Station ID:Eva_II
Latitude:64.8516
Longitude:-148.015
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
 Text Description:
Located immediately below the unconformity that separates the Gold Hill Loess from the Eva Forest Bed and about 1.5 m above the UT828 at this location. Pods of white- to cream-colored tephra that are 11 cm thick and occur over 15 cm of vertical thickness, interbedded with greaan-gray silt. Sharp contacts with the overlying and underlying silt.
