	Morphological Notes
	A11	Was bu006. Carbonate nodules start at 35cm. 0-10 has a granular structure at the top. 
	The second and third cores contain a prominent worm channel that seems to have been 
	used by ants. Profile passes into pm at 320cm. The pm has shiny roughl
	A12	y horizontal partings and small patches of soft carbonate in worm channels. Like 
	Bingara pits. Possibly mostly aeolian sediment.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, clay, mixed texture, with lime parna on third fan, Namoi
	Site Notes
	Originally bu006. Vegetation: pilliga box, Stipa, (mouldy) flatweed, naked lady. Site seems very slightly gilgaied, 5-10cm puffs 
	and shelves, with several open pipes, see photo. Soil profile like middle terrace.
