Text Description: Within inorganic silt, ~5.75 m above the base of the exposure. Occurs above Old Crow tephra and a well-developed paleosol. Halfway House (HH) tephra is 25 cm below VT, while 40 cm above VT tephra a 50-cm-thick second paleosol is present. Discrete bed that can be followed continuously across the exposure. Bed is up to 3 cm thick, with diffuse contacts. Glass morphology comprised of bubble-walled and tricuspate shards with some pumice. References: ![]() ![]() |

Halfway_House | 64.735 | -148.4594 | Preece, S. J. | 106000 ± 10000 TL; 7423; Age is approximate. Average age of two infrared stimulated luminescence ages on loess bracketing VT tephra at Halfway House. | Halfway House site: a 12-m-thick section of the Gold Hill Loess located on top of a rounded bedrock hill along the north side of the Parks Highway, ~50 km west of Fairbanks, Alaska. The exposure was created during construction of the George Parks Highway in the 1960s and is mostly comprised of the Goldstream Formation. Location coordinates from Preece and others (2011); coordinates vary slightly from those reported in Jensen and others (2011). Datum not specified, assumed to be NAD83. | Within inorganic silt, ~5.75 m above the base of the exposure. Occurs above Old Crow tephra and a well-developed paleosol. Halfway House (HH) tephra is 25 cm below VT, while 40 cm above VT tephra a 50-cm-thick second paleosol is present. Discrete bed that can be followed continuously across the exposure. Bed is up to 3 cm thick, with diffuse contacts. Glass morphology comprised of bubble-walled and tricuspate shards with some pumice. | UA1425 | Tephra Fall | Cumulate | Glass | 70.51 | 0.58 | 14.83 | 3.17 | 0.1 | 0.69 | 2.47 | 4.57 | 2.92 | 10781 | EMP | 3.17 | Cl=0.16; H2O=2.52 | EMP | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
