Description (summary) 2006-08-29 pc This is a natural accumulation in the southern portion of k83 (280cm S and 250cm E from r35). It is crumby and hard in consistence (a bit dusty when removed). f78 is characterized by a compact soil, it is fine in texture and light brown in colour, but when it dryes assumes a graysh colour. f78 it is the same as f71 in k83. [Input: Q902SC.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on recovery 2010-03-05 sC f78 slopes toward the south, for this reason there is a difference between its top elevation in the north portion of the locus from the top elevation in the south portion of k83: there are approximately 15cm of difference in elevation. The elevation of f78 given as bottom, has been taken in the N portion of the locus (the top elevation in the bottom portion of the locus is aprox. 9043). [Input: U305SC.j]
