Description (summary) 2008-08-04 jW Hard-crusted laminar natural accumulation throughout locus k33. It was a marked transition from the soil feature above, f94, which was soft and granular. [Input: S804JW.j]

Notes on volumetric localization 2010-08-07 mM1 The measured bottom elevation (9107) exceeds the top (8657), which is impossible. The feature f94, which covers f98, has a bottom elevation of 9121, while the feature f100, which is covered by f98, has a top elevation of 9107. Therefore I conclude that the measured elevations are in error. The top elevation of f98 should prabably be about 9121, while the elevation of the bottom should be about 9107. [Input: U807MM1.j]
