At the surface of this terrace deposit, the corner of a rubble platform was uncovered which may represent a domestic structure.
Deposit C, the third and lowest layer (directly atop bedrock), first encountered at a depth of 95cm below surface, is a mottled combination of two soil types.

 Surficial Geology of Great Sand Dunes Area, Colorado
In addition, stream-terrace deposits are relatively extensive in the northern part of the area where runoff from drainage basins in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains was sufficient to cut channels all the way across eolian sand to San Luis Creek.
This terrace deposit probably is equivalent in age to the last glaciation (Pinedale glaciation), which occurred about 35,000-12,000 years ago.
Terrace deposits ranging in age from earliest to latest Holocene are all within 1.5 m (5 ft) of present stream level.

 Terrace deposit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A river terrace is geological term for a flat platform of land created on either side of a river where, at some time in the past, the river has cut itself a deeper channel.
The former floodplain of the river is therefore at a higher point and is known as a terrace.
The terraces themselves are often made from fluvial material previously dumped by the river to create the earlier floodplain, These terrace deposits are broadly horizontal layers of gravel, sand and finer sediments that can sometimes contain prehistoric archaeological finds.

 OFR 94-2 Cascadia beach-shoreline database
The terrace surface heights are estimated near the edge of the present sea cliff, from the first landward deflection in slope, as observed in the aerial photographs and/or USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps.
Terrace surface elevations of selected reference sites throughout the study area, about 50 in number, were field checked with an altimeter (accuracy ± 3 m) to verify mapped elevations, and to estimate terrace deposit thickness.
The beach width is taken from the measured shore-normal (across-shore) distance of the active beach deposit from the mid-swash zone to the base of a sea cliff or to an established vegetation line.

 Dave Love - Rio Grande terrace abstract
Terrace deposits of the Los Duranes, Edith, and Menaul formations were previously defined by Lambert (1968, UNM, PhD dissertation, 329 pp.) in the Albuquerque area.
These quartzite-dominated, rounded, pebbly to cobbly sand deposits can generally be differentiated on the basis of landscape-topographic position, inset relationships, soil morphology, and height of the basal contact (above the Rio Grande) as determined from outcrop and drillhole data.
The lowest preserved terrace deposit is the Arenal alluvium (Qra), which is 3–6 m thick.

 WI Groundwater Research & Monitoring Projects
Analysis of the particle size distribution of the drilling samples indicated the presence of four different terrace deposits: a late Pleistocene high terrace sequence; a late Pleistocene intermediate terrace sequence; a late Pleistocene low terrace sequence; and a Holocene terrace sequence.
All of the terrace sequences are probably within 1000-1500 years in age of each other, with the exception of the Holocene terrace sequence.
The stratigraphy of the sediments of the lower terraces of the LWRV are highly variable.

 Ocean Bluff Stabilization
Over one week of constant watering from an unattended irrigation system led to failure of a 12-m thick sandy marine terrace deposit.
Grouted terrace sands performed very well during excavation of the backcut and in-grading benching.
Seepage was addressed by drilling a horizontal drain from the heel of the backcut through the grouted terrace.

 A Glossary of Prospector's Terms
It is believed that over the next 13 years, placer miners extracted approximately $650,000,000 in ore from this region that became known as the "Mother Lode." A similar event took place in the late 1800's in Western Australia at Kalgoorlie where it is believed approximately $400,000,000 was found.
It is completely opposite of the harder and expensive mining technique(s) of "lode mining" in hardrock or bedrock that usually follows a vein or concentration of metals in any given direction into the earth.
Also refers to a deposit of minerals in native rock that requires special care in removal techniques to avoid damage to the crystals, etc..

The Emporia terrace is a rather flat bench of land, positioned somewhat higher than the Cottonwood River floodplain or that area adjacent to the river.
These terrace deposits are remnants of a time when an ancestral Cottonwood River flowed through the area at a much higher elevation than today and along a different path.
To the north of Highway 50 are higher terraces and to the south, across the Cottonwood river, are lower terraces.

 USING SURFICIAL GEOMORPHOLOGY, SOIL DEVELOPMENT, AND STRATIGRAPHY TO ESTIMATE THE TIMING AND MEANS OF INCISION OF AFTON ...
Although the lacustrine interpretation may be equivocal for two of the deposits, in all three locations these deposits overlie fluvial terraces indicating a cycle of cutting, filling or temporarily damming, and then continued incision as a mechanism of canyon cutting.
Soil development into a north rim fluvial terrace deposit suggests a relatively older age than those fluvial terraces inset within the canyon, and perhaps infers overflow occurred before the inset strath terraces were formed.
If this fluvial terrace could only be deposited with the contribution of the Mojave River and the soil developed into this terrace does reflect an older age, then there may be three times when Lake Manix and at least the downstream Soda Lake basin had a hydrologic connection.

 PRESS RELEASE Vaaldiam to Acquire 70% Interest in Duas Barras Diamond Deposit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Alluvial diamond deposits associated with the Jequitinhonha River currently produce an estimated US$500,000 to US$750,000 of diamonds each month, from a combination of industrial-scale river dredge operations and smaller garimpeiro workings.
Large scale river dredging operations have been conducted both upstream and downstream of the property, and exploration activities in areas immediately adjacent to the property provide evidence that significant buried gravel deposits lie within the boundaries of the property.
During the period January to November 2002, Marly reportedly excavated and processed a 4,263 cubic metre bulk sample of alluvial gravel from the central portion of the deposit, which reportedly yielded 1,108.34 carats of diamonds, suggesting a recovered grade of 0.26 carats per cubic metre.

 Opinion of Skyway Terrace posted 9/13/2006: Kiss your deposit goodbye...
Yes this is a nice community and the apartments are large, but management is very rude and slow to repair things.
I actually paid a professional to clean the apartment in order to get our deposit back, we recieved maybe $50.00 and the apartment was cleaner than when we moved in.
Also, in the last few months I had packages accidentally sent there, due to a mix up, and instead of returning them to UPS, knowing full well that my husband and I didn't live there anymore.
