The modern a segment of the upper Lampasas River in Bell County, Texas. age from about 1000 B.P. to at least 6000 B.P., and is capped alluvium or on the T2 and T3 surfaces. Late Prehistoric are known in the valley) exist in the unit II alluvium and on be found deeply buried in unit II alluvium, or on the T3 believed to be Pleistocene in age. Terrace 2 (T2) is also between about 1000 B.P. and 700 B.P., and is capped by the by a soil (S2). The first terrace (Tl) is underlain by two composed of a single depositional unit (II) which ranges in floodplain consists of fairly recent sediment (Unit V), that in some places has incipient soil development (S5). Based on Lovelady Paleosol (S3).
