	Morphological Notes
	A11p	Core somewhat fragmented by Proline and stones. Second core is composed of two 
	bites with some topsoil rubble included. Looks more like a gravelly MVpH than black earth
	 or grey clay.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, mixed texture, with lime,  parna on third fan

	Large gravel pit located just next to site - stones are rounded and subrounded. Stopped drilling at 183 cm because of heavy 
	gravels.
