	Morphological Notes
	A11	Thin band of gravel including basalt at 300, more gravel at 320-340. Prominent 
	manganese at 300. Weak, thin surface crust. Second horizon is darker than moist 
	surface layer. Third horizon has cast granules (3, 3, ca) and a prominent layer o
	A12	f 3kn at 230-240. Slickensides much less frequent below 300. Lowest horizon sb to 
	polyhedral.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, mixed texture, with lime, gravel fifth (eroded) fan
