0 to 0 centimeters (0.0 to 0.0 inches); fragments. Lab sample # 40A41529. Soil Surface. Closely packed pebbly desert pavement, with most pebbles less than about 3 cm. diameter. Most pebbles are rhyolite, with a few andesite pebbles and rounded pebbles of mixed lithology. Many pebbles have a thin, discontinuous or continuous coating of black desert varnish. A layer of loose sand, 1 to 2 mm. thick, occurs discontinuously between pebbles.
