Sample No. HAY-98-228a
Original (X,Y,Z) X:45 Y:45 Z:-520
Field Description Compact to cemented stratified thin hearth lenses, partly disturbed by rodent and insect burrows. Is the ash calcitic at all; is there also incipient alteration from apatite to leucophosphite, etc.? Are the burrows containing clay, which we expect below ~530 cm bd? Is there any charcoal in the “charcoal layers”?
THIN SECTION Observations Charcoal only as fragments at top. Looks like diagenetically altered ashes with no calcite but apatite and likely leucophosphite. Some TR balls. Looks like terrier in spots.
