Remarks

Remarks:

Sim to 43; seems browner near the bottom but will probably bleach out to gray when it's exposed to the air & sun; still charcoal and nari flakes in the matrix; somewhat looser along Wall 36; hole (doesn't seem llike rodent) at Loca 16 (.06 X .12 m); slants to the E; quite soft (2) at Loca 35
