Quaternary nonmarine deposits (WAQcl;0)

State	Washington
Name	Quaternary nonmarine deposits
Geologic age	Pleistocene
Lithologic constituents	Major Unconsolidated > Fine-detrital > Clay (Lacustrine) Igneous > Volcanic (Pyroclastic-air fall) Sedimentary > Clastic > Sandstone (Bed) Minor Unconsolidated > Coarse-detrital > Gravel (Lacustrine)
Comments	Ringold Formation consists of fluvial and lacustrine fanglomerate, conglomerate, sand, silt, clay with minor tephra. Finer materials make up a larger proportion of the Formation but in relatively unknown abundances (Grolier and Bingham, 1971, Schuster and others, 1987). Located near Potholes Reservoir (Ringold) and near Vancouver.
Stratigraphic units	Ringold Formation
