| Pleistocene 0.0117 - 2.588 Ma ID: 2912364 | Glaciolacustrine deposits Age: Pleistocene (0.0117 - 2.588 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Nespelem Silt Description: Fine-grained sand and silt, well-stratified, with some gravel, clay, and diatomaceous earth. Contains clastic dikes in Walla Walla area. Comments: Recent maps show part of this unit near Walla Walla covered with Quaternary loess (periglacial) and minor Holocene dune sand and alluvium (nonglacial) as well as outburst flood deposits from glacial Lake Missoula. Some flood deposits also have ash layers or tephra deposits. Lithology: Major:{silt,sand}, Minor:{gravel,clay}, Incidental:{volcanic} Reference: Horton, J.D., C.A. San Juan, and D.B. Stoeser.
