610 |
Older fan and colluvial gravel fan unit has compact bladed sedimentary
soil structure in northern end of trench on SW wall and is difficult to
visually distinguish from unit 620. More indurated than unit 620. On NW
wall it dips steeply beneath a well-defined contact with unit 620. |
620 |
Older fan unit appears to be dipping to the east. It is more indurated
than the channel sediments; range of clast sizes is coarser than the channel
sediments. Distinct beds of gravel and beds of sand exposed on northern
wall, angular, greater that ¼ of the clasts are covered with rinds
of caliche. Clast types: large cobbles of marble and basalt, pebbles of
granite and angular greywacke clasts |
630 |
Pale yellow older colluvium with gravel. Similar to unit 830.Well defined
contact between unit 630 and overlying unit 660. Contact is CaCO3 rich,
with unit 630 defined by lighter color. |
640 |
Very coarse to coarse grained, poorly sorted channel gravel. No caliche
rinds. Similar to unit 840. |
650 |
Colluvial or silty soil unit containing coarse crystalline angular granite
boulder on SW wall. Darker than underlying units, with lower contact well
defined by color contrast. |
660 |
Green-tan-light brown silty colluvial or soil unit with gravel. Darker
than underlying units. Lower contact well-defined by color contrast. Same
cobble of QTP in channel deposit, contains green-gray mudstone. |
670 |
Main channel. Interbedded gravel with fine-grained, very thinly to thinly
bedded moderately to well sorted subrounded (to angular) sand with coarse,
subangular sand lenses. Gradational contact with 680; disseminated layers
above more continuous layers. SE contacts are diffuse. |
680 |
Fine grained, poorly indurated and bioturbated silty sand and sandy silt.
Similar to unit 880. |
