Unit 1 (reference, Deschutes_Formation_strat.jpg). Fluvial conglomerate (coin
for reference). Note the great variability in grain size. All conglomerate
materials are rounded, vesiculated, and generally dark gray in color.

High-level Description: Interstitial, unconsolidated grains from Unit 1, a
clast-supported fluvial conglomerate. Interstitial grains range from 0.2-0.42
mm in diameter, are sub-angular to sub-rounded, and display a rough texture. 
a small percentage of grains are vesicular. Palagonitized fines mantle many
grains (image 0803).

Texture
  Grain morphology and appearance: Rough, dark, sub-angular to sub-rounded
grains.
  Grain size and sorting: Poorly-sorted sub-mm sized (0.2-0.42 mm) tephra
grains in a clast-supported matrix. No preferred orientation.
  Grain fabric:  Polymodal at the microscale; bimodal (mm-scale and cm-scale
particles) at the macroscale.

Sediment structure:  None.

Color:  Predominantly dark and light-grey grains, with some black and white,
and a few red grains.
