Latitude:63.816
Longitude:-139.058
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
 Text Description:
Maximum thickness of 2 cm. Tephra has been preserved in an ice-wedge cast (from Sandhu et al. 2001). Sample is from top of White Channel gravels (from Preece et al. 2000). From Preece et al. (2011): pumice with trace amount of blocky grains. Sample taken by M. Milner, 1988.

Preece_2000_site_1563.816-139.058Preece, S. J. 800000 ± 40000 known unit; 10261; Age is approximate. Based on only 4 spontaneous tracks and is certainly too young in the light of the ages of other tephra beds in the Klondike area and the stratigraphic and geomorphic setting of Quartz Creek tephra (from Preece and others 2000).2 m of massive fluvial gravel that is separated by a bedrock high from the more extensive, and slightly lower, colluviated facies of the Upper White Channel gravel. Located 35 km southeast of Dawson City near the confluence of the Little Blanche and Quartz creeks, Yukon Territory, Canada. Sequence containing gravel, crossbedded sands and silts. Datum not specified, assumed to be NAD83.Maximum thickness of 2 cm. Tephra has been preserved in an ice-wedge cast (from Sandhu et al. 2001). Sample is from top of White Channel gravels (from Preece et al. 2000). From Preece et al. (2011): pumice with trace amount of blocky grains. Sample taken by M.
