Data
| 1 Section [m] | 2 Depth top [m] | 3 Depth bot [m] | 4 Soil comp |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.100 | 0.00 | 0.20 | Sandy loam of brown color with plant remains |
| 0.500 | 0.20 | 0.80 | Layered predominantly peat stratum of reddish color with interlayers of 0.2-2 cm thick, fine- and medium-grained sand of polymict pale-yellow composition |
| 1.100 | 0.80 | 1.40 | Brown-colored loose peat |
| 1.525 | 1.40 | 1.65 | Sandy-peat alternating strata of pale yellow-brown color. Average thickness of medium-, and coarse-grained sand and peat interlayers is 1.5-2 cm. The maximum peat inter-layer is 5 cm thick. |
| 1.875 | 1.65 | 2.10 | Brown-colored layered peat with separate rare interlayers of fine-grained sand up to 1 mm thick |
| 2.150 | 2.10 | 2.20 | Brown-colored peat with frequent interlayers of fine-grained pale-yellow sand |
| 2.350 | 2.20 | 2.50 | Fine- and close-grained humic, layered sand of dark pale-yellow color. Lamina-tion is governed by thin dark interlayers of well-decomposed organic matter |
| 2.715 | 2.50 | 2.93 | Dark-brown slightly decayed peat. In the 2.65 to 2.78 m interval there is an ice interlayer |
| 3.055 | 2.93 | 3.18 | Sand-peat alternating strata of pale-yellow color. The thickness of peat interlay-ers is up to 5 cm with the thickness of interlayers of fine- and medium-grained sand up to 3 cm |
| 3.240 | 3.18 | 3.30 | Ice interlayer |
| 3.350 | 3.30 | 3.40 | Yellow-colored, fine- and close-grained wavy laminated sand with silt interlayers of grey color 0.1-0.4 cm thick |
| 3.475 | 3.40 | 3.55 | Silty-sandy peat alternating strata of brownish-grey color |
| 4.125 | 3.55 | 4.70 | Pale-yellow-colored fine-grained sands with ferrugination lenses of elongated ellipse-like shape. The location of lenses creates an effect of oblique lamination. |
