Description (summary) 2009-08-16 jW An accumlation under f259 and atop the stones of f265. It is red, dense, wet, and contains marble-size stones. As of yet we do not know whether this accmulation is natural or intentionally placed above the stone. [Input: T816JW.j]

Notes on volumetric localization 2010-08-07 mM1 The measured bottom elevation (8772) exceeds the top (8771), which is impossible. The first of three q-lots (q451) from this accumulation has a top elevation of 8771, while the last q-lot (q455) has a bottom elevation of 8747. Therefore we conclude that the measured top elevation was correct, while the bottom one was in error and should have been about 8747. [Input: U807MM1.j]
