	Morphological Notes
	A1	Level.03 has strong evidence of layering: 2-3mm thick, inter layers of red and dark 
	red/black - looks like layers with slightly more or less organic matter. At 55cm there is a 
	fine, weak iron pan, and from there to 90cm there is abundant fe
	A21	rruginized sandstone stones bedded in loose sand. At 90cm there is sandstone rock. 
	The A2 is not strongly bleached, but is also more than sporadic. The B2 is a colour B, not
	 textural B. Great Soil Group is an earthy sand/lithosol/red podzol
	A22	ic intergrade. 206.05 consisted of 52% wt as gravel >12mm. This was not included in 
	sample sent to Chemistry Lab. Field texture for sample 5 estimated from lab results.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: regolith, sandstone, from sandstone, non-calcareous Pilliga Sandstone

	Loose, soft surface, mainly sand. 56cm depth ferruginized stones, sharp break. At 183cm hard sandstone was hit and drilling 
	stopped. In second core stoneline occurs at 83cm.
