192-1184A-
1 Massive with some subtle gradations in grain size; includes thin layers of very coarse sand to granules Very fine sand to pebble Very poor 20 cm to >10 m Lithic vitric lapilli tuff Muddy debris flow deposit 40R-1, 0-137
2 Massive, grain-size oscillations Coarse sand to pebble Very poor 2-30 m Lithic vitric lapilli tuff to lapillistone Stony debris flow deposit 28R-4, 0-150
3 Inclined granule lamination Medium sand to granule Poor 2-5 m Lithic vitric lapilli tuff Current-reworked deposit 36R-2, 0-60
4 Grading, parallel lamination, traction carpet Fine to very coarse sand Moderate 5-200 cm Lithic vitric tuff Turbidite 12R-4, 57-68
5 Massive, clast supported Granule to pebble Moderate 20 cm to 10 m Tachylitic lapillistone Quenched subaerial eruptive products 22R-6, 92-112
6 Chaotic bedding Fine sand to pebble Very poor >3 m Lithic vitric lapilli tuff Slump deposit 45R-6, 100-150
7 Inverse grading, mud drape Clay, very fine to coarse sand Good ~20 cm Lithic vitric tuff and mudstone Fluvial deposit (?) 46R-1, 27-47
8 Massive Silt to very fine sand Good 5 cm Lithic vitric tuff Air-fall ash 27R-5, 30-35

Note: The last column gives an interval in which the lithology is well expressed.
