Description
Summary:Finely laminated, fine-grained sediments, probably deposited in a small lake, exposed in a cut bank. The rhythmic layering represents seasonal inputs of coarser detritus (lighter colored layers) against a background of continual deposition of finer detritus (darker colored layers), These deposits are overlain by coarse gravel of a younger fluvial deposit.
