Green-grey bedded silt occurs in a 12 by 122-metre bank along the road to Seton Lake, about 1.6 kilometres west of Lillooet. A 5.4-metre thick section was sampled; analysis indicates the clay makes good common brick by the soft mud process but is not plastic enough for wirecut brick or drain tile (Bulletin 30).
