	A11	Bu016 on core is incorrect. This core shows a sandy red duplex profile to 30cm, on 
	clayier calcareous sediments. Resembles Aloomba pit. There is a depositional texture 
	break at 30cm with levee bank sediments on prior clays; this is probably
	A12	 the same riverine episode - an inherited lithological discontinuity. An 8cm thick band of 
	sand occurs at 130-138cm above massive clayey sands with minor carbonate filaments.
	 This is the top of the parent sediments, which are sandy again, l
	B21	ike the topsoil. Q.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, sand, clay second terraced fan, Namoi
	Site Notes
	Brown sandy surface, adjoining creek - ?red terrace.
