SAMPLE INFO : UA739
Sample ID:UA739
Station ID:UA739
Latitude:66.72
Longitude:-148.45
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
Text Description:
The lower tephra bed at this station is the Old Crow tephra; it contains few detrital contaminants, is about 30 cm thick, and is continuous across the l00-m-long exposure. The paleosols are weakly developed and comprise mere horizons of dark gray to black silt, 1-2 cm thick.
