	A11	Originally bu008. 0-10cm separated as it is possibly surface wash. It has a more sandy 
	appearance than the remainder. Carbonate concretions start at 30cm. Fine grit and 
	A12	 fragments to note.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, clay, sand parna on third fan, Namoi
	Site Notes
	Nardoo, rushes.
