SAMPLE INFO : Carson_Cold_Bay_Regional_Tephra _B
Sample ID:Carson_Cold_Bay_Regional_Tephra _B
Station ID:Cold_Bay_Regional_Tephra
Latitude:55.2
Longitude:-162.69998
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
 Text Description:
Average calculated from analyses of seven individual samples from seven different locations (see individual samples for description): 96TDS3A, 96JF9A, 96TDS15Q, 97EC18N, 96TDS30A, 96TDS33A, 97EC15E (see Figure 14a in Carson 1998). Scattered 1-2 cm pumice lapilli, gray to light brown, dispersed in a 10-15 cm thick sediment horizon. Tephra collected from beneath the Funk/Fisher ash or directly above the late Wisconsin diamicton. Composed of easily recognizable 1-2 cm lapilli fragments evenly dispersed within a layer of non-volcanic (typically eolian) interstitial sediment.

Cold_Bay_Regional_Tephra55.2-162.69998Carson, E. C.> 9130 ± 140 stratigraphy; 975; Radiocarbon date of peat directly beneath the Funk/Fisher ash. This tephra is located stratigraphically below the Funk/Fisher ash and is therefore older. Age is also constrained by deglaciation in the area. Seven major tephra beds identified and correlated in the Cold Bay area, Alaska Peninsula, Alaska (see Carson 1998). Geochemical data of samples reported here are averages calculated from analyses of multiple tephra correlated across different stratigraphic locations in the area; see sample descriptions for individual samples that were used to calculate compositional averages of correlated tephra deposits. Deposition of these beds took place between 10,200 +/- 75 and 3600 +/- 140 radiocarbon years BP.
