	Morphological Notes

	Project Name:	Soil Studies in the Lower Namoi Valley
	Project Code:	EDGEROI	Site ID:	ed007	Observation ID:	1

	A11p	Visible crack depth is 63cm. Fine granular surface of 2cm. A1p2 is a strong plough layer
	 with tensile strength >6000. Sand lenses (5mm deep but not horizontally continuous) at 
	A12p	22 horizon is strongly pedal, but does not seem buried due to lack of abrupt boundary 
	and little colour change. At other sites similar material has been buried.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, clay,  parna on fourth fan
	Site Notes
	Surface cracks filled and not visible due to cultivation.
