SAMPLE INFO : UT889
Sample ID:UT889
Station ID:Gold_Hill_II
Latitude:64.9
Longitude:-147.89997
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
Text Description:
Rewoked, appears at the 19 m level; the white, crystal-rich tephra is preserved in small loess blocks that collapsed into a gully, which was later filled with loess. Occurs as pods and in some pods, is segregated into two vitric pure white and crystal-rich parts with sharp contacts between them. Tephra and surrounding silt contacts are sharp and occasionally sheared a little and very irregular. Maximum thickness is 1 cm and maximum pod size is 9 by 1 cm.
