Holocene alluvial deposits
These geological units comprised of gravel, sand and mud were wholly or partly deposited in the Holocene (in the last 11,700 years) as a result of water-borne alluvial floodplain and fan processes. The units are indicative of the extent of Holocene flooding events preserved in the sedimentary record.
