3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Evolution 2009-08-09 cJC After removing f367 we found that f369 which is a flakey gray layer, appears to be the same as the gray layer we found abutting the apron stair (f131) which was f368. In the future we will refer to the combination of the features as only f369. [Input: T809CJC.j]
