    C1/C2/C3—84 to 168 centimeters (33.1 to 66.1 inches); single grain; loose; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.4; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A39792. Stratified pale brown (10YR 6/3) sand, brown (10YR 4/3) loamy sand, and very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) loamy sand. Lywers were cyclic with the 10YR 3/2 on top, the 10YR 4/3 2nd and the 10YR 6/3 3rd in order. This cycle repeats five times between 91 and 168 cm; each strata was sampled separate. Bands appear to be sedimentary.
