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 Analysis Specifications.
