Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-28 cJC This feature is composed of a soft fine dirt that scrapes easily. It has few inclusions. It has some very soft melted bricks that are not well defined in shape. It is a very light brown almost gray color. This feature is similar to (probably the same as) f61 which is directly above it. The feature was changed due to the presence of bricks nearby. The area of the feature is defined in the east by the edge of the square k74 and in the east it is defined by relays r136, r137 and r138. [Input: S728HQ.J]
