WD_86_15
VA-A4-57 has a full slide scan available. Imaged by K. Hardy and M. Leclerc, ANU.
Vasino-type temper (hybrid lithic Timor sands).
WD_86_17
Lithic hybrid sand in which lithic terrigenous detritus is admixed in variable proportions with calcareous grains that include both massive grains and foraminiferal tests. Lithic fragments of sedimentary rock- dominantly murky argillite (or shale or mudstone).
WD_85_11
Lithic-type. Also called MA_C7_1562.
