	Morphological Notes
	A11p	From 40cm to 70cm the soil is quite compact. The tensile strength for 250-260cm is on a 
	3 inch core. From 200-228cm there is a sandy facies. The sandy facies represents the 
	bedload of a new deposit. This sand also appears as infills in the 
	A12	clay horizon below, as well as being mixed by faunal acitivity. This burial might represent
	 the prior groundsurface.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, mixed texture, with lime,  second terraced fan
	Site Notes
	Patches of dark and light brownish red in paddock. Topography to very gently undulating.
