| 7 | 54 | 1720 | 10 | 422213 | 5080075 | On the edge of something- a big deep hole- porthole to the subsurface. A big collapse about 5 m deep. Photos 108 and 109 | Photos |

| 7 | 56 | 1719 | 18 | 422208 | 5080097 | This is a pretty chaotic collapse - looking north to find the edge of it. Looks tectonic-structural trend. | |

| 9 | 47 | 1712 | 356 | 422291 | 5080340 | Still seeing those little pieces of glass on the old pillows and in the sediment pockets. Must be something new nearby. | |
