SAMPLE INFO : 96TOK1-12
Sample ID:96TOK1-12
Station ID:96TOK1
Latitude:63.198
Longitude:-142.178
Datum:NAD83
Sample Type 1:Tephra Fall
 Text Description:
Collected from within the top 1 meter of Unit 6, which consists of organic-rich, black-gray silt. Within the silt are 1- to 3-cm-thick, organic-rich bands and fine laminations of silt and tephra. The sample was collected 15 cm below tephra 96TOK1-13, from an isolated pod of clean, pumiceous, hornblende-rich tephra that appears salt-and-pepper in color. Highly vesicular pumice with an average grain size of 200 microns.

Approximately 17 miles east of Tetlin Junction and 100 miles north of Wrangell volcanic field. Twelve-m-thick section that exposes interbedded sands, silt and tephra that were deposited against a southeasterly sloping, highly weathered intrusive rock. The section is divided into six units based on lithology. Ten tephra samples were taken; however, approximately one m below tephra 96TOK1-9, there are wispy layers of several multiple-banded tephras that were very thin and discontinuous and not detailed in Schaefer (2002). Datum not specified, assumed to be NAD83. Collected from within the top 1 meter of Unit 6, which consists of organic-rich, black-gray silt. Within the silt are 1- to 3-cm-thick, organic-rich bands and fine laminations of silt and tephra.
