Today was the day we saw alluvium in a drainage way AND a floodplain, you could see the stratification of different depositional events!
Pit BBP4: First glimpse of a buried A horizon in a floodplain of a stream
Look at that gleyed color!
The judgers discussing the pit
Then we saw a teaching pit and experienced fire ants for the first time! Only a little sting. Ended strong with a group pit with forested soil and ice cream with NC State Howling creamery! All us Midwesterners were happy to see so much dairy in one place. We spent the night practicing our textures and adjusting to the kaolinitic clays. Team meeting is always the best way to end the night!
