Earth Remarks Some is unburned destruction that fell on the crude-in-places--little used--cobble surface at 911.65 m; however, the LIR2/P readings of Pail 14 would have come from the earth adjacent & just below Surf II (i.e. 17) which was LIR2/P & which at this time we did not yet know was overlying Wall 14; The EIR2 (one diag, I think) could related to the top phase of Wall 14 (see L 14) or result from bio-turbation which was not noticable here but was significant elsewhere (L 7, 19)
