to purple, with minor gray units. Beds range from a few
centimeters to several meters thick, but are typically in the
range of 1-2 m. Poor core recovery is typical of this
lithofacies and the thickness of many units may be under
appreciated.

LF8A and 8B comprise laminated siltstones and mud-
stones characterized by 1-3 mm thick horizontal laminae
that are often wavy and deformed (Fig. 9.7 ). The only differ-
ence between LF8A and 8B is color, with LF8A typically
gray in color, ranging from grayish red purple (5RP 4/2) to
