SAMPLE INFO : UT845
Sample ID:UT845
Station ID:Eva_I
Latitude:64.8
Longitude:-147.99997
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
Text Description:
3.5-cm-thick, horizontal tephra with abundant mafic minerals that is interbedded with grey silt and oxidation streaks. Occurs in three layers with a maximum thickness of 6.5 cm. The basal 0.5 cm consists of sand-sized, crystal-rich tephra overlain by 2 cm of finer-grained, cross-bedded tephra with abundant mafic minerals. The upper 4 cm is the primary bed; it is cream-colored unit and overlain by 3 cm of cross-bedded crystal-rich sand.
