Comment:IA-11 is part of the geological map Patillos and Oficina Victoria, Región de Tarapacá. -- Sepúlveda, F.; Vásquez, P.; Quezada, A. 2014. Cartas Patillos y Oficina Victoria, Región de Tarapacá. Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería, Carta Geológica de Chile, Serie Geología Básica 167-168, 1 mapa escala 1:100.000. Santiago. -- The full extent of the tephra deposit can be seen in the satellite image to the east of the site location. Thickness is decimetric. The ash filled a drainage channel during depostion and is now found at the margins of the drainage channels. Sometimes it is cemented in the external face forming a hard crust. It appears not to be reworked.
