Text Description: Old Crow tephra is preserved near the base of bedded silt that probably originated as loess but was deposited or redeposited in standing water. Laminations indicate that the tephra has been reworked; a single 5-cm-thick bed is covered by thin couplets of nearly pure tephra and gray silt, the combined thickness of the tephra-rich zone being 30 cm. A peaty bed with spruce fragments and a loess bed overlie the tephra-bearing silt, beneath which glacial drift of Kobuk and earlier glaciations is exposed (See Fig. 7 in Westgate et al. 1983).

UT114 | 66.53 | -152.08 | Westgate, J. A. | 124000 ± 10000 known unit; 10271; Age is approximate. Revised glass fission-track age with re-calibration; four Old Crow Tephra sample glass fission-track ages (UT1434, UT613, UT501, UT613). | Exposure 11 of Westgate et al. (1983), along the Koyokuk River, northern Alaska near the Brooks Range. Lies within the Alatna River lobe of the Kobuk-age glacier complex (See Fig. 6 in Westgate et al. 1983). The sedimentary sequence is illustrated in Figure 7 (of Westgate et al. 1983). It is likely that nearly continuous deposition of aeolian, lacustrine, and perhaps fluvial silt took place in this area during the Itkillik and Walker Lake ice advances. | Old Crow tephra is preserved near the base of bedded silt that probably originated as loess but was deposited or redeposited in standing water. Laminations indicate that the tephra has been reworked; a single 5-cm-thick bed is covered by thin couplets of nearly pure tephra and gray silt, the combined thickness of the tephra-rich zone being 30 cm.
