Diagrammatic cross-section of alluvial terraces found in the Mojave National Preserve with symbols indicating the units of the three field test locations. The bucket test locations indicate units in which preliminary infiltrations were made during the process of site selection (Nimmo et al., 2008). For the terrace designations, Q indicates that the deposits are from the Quaternary period, y indicates a young deposit, i indicates an intermediate-aged deposit, and o indicates an old deposit. Numbers indicate increasing age within each of those three relative ages.

- A) Road cut outcrop of the alluvial terrace at Palazzo di Poggio San Vicino next to the farm of Mr Lino Quatrini (43°23’19” N; 13°04’45” E; 427 m asl), about 4 km NW of Pian di Rote. Rock hammer circled in red. Note the chaotic, poorly sorted texture of this deposit, with a clast size ranging from sand to boulder. In the inset, a large nodule of Scaglia Rossa R4 chert from this outcrop, showing scars produced by violent impacts during an energetic flood transport. This kind of sediment, chaotic, poorly sorted, and lacking imbrication, is typical of proximal alluvial deposits of Middle Pleistocene Qt3 terraces in this area at the foot of the Marche Ridge (Wegmann &amp; Pazzaglia, 2009); B) A cobble of Scaglia Rossa R4 chert nodule from the same outcrop showing the carbonate cortex and more transport impact scars; C) the other side of the same cobble exhibiting a smooth, slightly undulated cut surface; D) a view of the right end side of the same cobble showing small impact marks along the upper edge of the smooth surface. These structural features, i.e., the smooth cut surface and the small impact marks, suggest that this chert cobble was manually knapped.
