Holocene - Pliocene 0 - 5.333 Ma ID: 2452019 | Pediment mantle Age: Cenozoic (0 - 5.333 Ma) Description: Light-brown to brown, gray, and locally reddish-brown deposit of silt, sand, granules, pebbles, cobbles, and boulders derived from adjacent uplands. Massive to crudely bedded. Unconsolidated to well-cemented. Chiefly siltstone and sandstone clasts. Surfaces are even and slope gently away from uplands.
