	Morphological Notes
	A11	In 35101 the granular structure is mostly in the top 2cm. Note layer of stone (?a 
	stoneline) at 50cm. Is this a stratigraphic break? Other small stones are scattered 
	through the top 90cm, several are dense black ironstones. Pieces of Garawi
	A12	lla Volcanics appear at 175. Very prominent faunal activity in parent material. The quartz 
	and other rock pebbles above 90cm show that the soil includes some pedisediment.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: residual, from basalt, with colluvium from sandstone, non-calcareous Purlawaugh Formation
	Site Notes
	Sites 347-352 are spaced at 2m intervals; 353 is 90m from 352. 351 is in the hollow mid-way between two puffs.
