The Paleosol level has channels of white arkosic
lithomitic coarse to grit
sized clasts interbedded
w/ soilified clays.
There are limonite spherule
horizons also present in the

At least 4 paleosols were
observed in the 10-15 m.
of the Paleosol zone
{ Kirk just got a reading on

in Brazil which would

but resist the oxidation,
