Senbongi town at Jun. 23-24, 1993

( updated Feb. 15,1996 )
2 or 3 flow units were distiguished by filed survey in Senbongi town.
The entrance floor of house face to the volcano is a good box for sampling , 1.5m wide and 1m length. These two flow units are only 10cm+alpha each, although with a degasing pipe and grading and no lamination.
I think that is a category in pyroclastic flow deposits, formed by jumping from Taruki hills.
