The geologic
information for each material-text panel may include: mineralogy,
age of original
deposit, location of deposit (longitude, latitude, depth
altitude or depth, geologic context), holocene transport and depositional/installation
characteristics, analysis of metamorphic
processes, original and current depositional environment and facies,
and other relevant characteristics of the materials and processes
in
a geologic/anthroturbational context.
Geologic laboratory analysis was performed on samples of each material
by Katherine Waring and associates at the UC Davis Geology Department
(thin sections) and Mineral
Labs, Inc., Lakewood, CO. as appropriate for the material:
scanning electron microscopy (SEM). energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy
(EDS) and/or x-ray
fluorescence (XRF), or x-ray diffraction
(XRD). Laboratory results are available through links for each
material below. Mineral Lab Technical
