HG 268.15-268.30 Thin Section

Coarse grained sample, with small clasts. Clasts range from sub-angular to sub-rounded in shape. Lineations are abundant throughout the sample. Grain stacking and crushing can also be seen in minor amounts.

HG 268.40-268.55 Thin Section

This is a coarse grained sample with some very fine grained domains throughout the sample. The clast shape and size range from small to large, as well as angular to sub-rounded. Grain crushing is the most prevalent in this sample. It also contains some rotation structures and minor necking structures. Lineations and grain stacking can also be seen.

HG 276.80-276.95 Thin Section

Coarse grained sample, with grains ranging from small to large in size. Shapes range from angular to rounded. This sample is abundant in lineations, and rotation structures can also be seen around larger aggregates. Many large grains are fractured and minor grain stacking can also be seen.

HG 290.45-290.55 Thin Section

Two main domains can be seen in this sample. One is coarse grained with clasts ranging from small to medium in size. The other is very fine grained, and a very dark brown, potentially influenced by organic material. Grain crushing and lineations can be seen in the coarser domain.

HG 291.40-291.55 Thin Section

Coarse grained sample with inclusions of finer grained sediment. Clasts are small to large in size and angular to sub-rounded in shape. Grain crushing is abundant in this sample, and lineations and minor grain stacks can also be seen.

HG 295.70-295.80 Thin Section

This sample contains two different domains; a coarse grained domain with well dispersed clasts, and a fine grained domain that potentially contains organics. The coarser grained domain contains comet structures, lineations and minor rotation without a central grain.

HG 297.25-297.35a Thin Section

Brown sediment with well dispersed clasts. Clasts range from small to medium in size and sub-angular to sub-rounded in shape. Alternating domains can be seen (light and dark). Darker domains appear organic rich. Lineations can also be seen throughout the sample.

HG 297.25-297.35b Thin Section

Fine grained sample with some small clasts. The small clasts are sub-angular to sub-rounded in shape. Organic materials can be seen throughout the sample (darker areas). Lineations are also present throughout the sample.

HG 299.65-299.80 Thin Section

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to medium in size. They are sub-angular to sub-rounded in shape. Lineations are abundant throughout the sample. Minor grain stacking and crushing can also be seen.
