Text Description: Semi-lithified tephra located in the basal part of the Gold Hill Loess, 11 m above the Cripple Gravel. It has been deformed by solifluction into pods, up to 5 cm thick and 38 cm long, that are spread out vertically over a 20-25 cm interval and interbedded with massive, grey (2.5Y6/3) and oxidized (2.5Y6/4) silt. All contacts with the surrounding loess are sharp in most places and wispy in a few. There is often a darker pink rim, a few mm to less than a mm thick, along the silt-tephra contact of the pods. In some places, the tephra has been oxidized and is rusty along the silt-tephra contact. The larger pods are sometimes separated into smaller pods by wisps or mm thick silt layers, and some of the pods have very convoluted outlines while others are more regular ovals. It can be traced continuously from stations Gold_Hill_II to Gold_Hill_IV. Sample contains aggregates of fine-grained, colourless and brown glass shards poorly cemented by silica. Highly vesicular pumice is common with elongate vesicles, however, poorly vesicular pumice and bubblewall glass shards also common. Mineral component includes feldspar and FeTi oxides with accessory amounts of clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, hornblende, and apatite. References: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
