	B21	Coarser grade of structure evident during sampling - mod. 50-70mm grade, polyhedral.
	B22	Density increasing and still silty as per layers 1-3.
	B23	Reddening decreases - texture heavier and less silty.
	B23	Transitional to layer 7.

	C	C horizon with bright yellow-brown weathered basalt.
	Observation Notes
	Colluvial material on lower slope. Deeper than BM089 and fertility is higher. Deep gradational profile without sharp contrasts, 
	except for layer 8.
