content: Original Catalog Number: 2904 Style: Unengraved Raw Material 2: Busycon Element: Complete Alteration: Weathered Surface Modification: Smoothed Residue: Very thick light brown spongy looking residue in apical cup basin. The is an unusual residue, not like others I've seen. It is not reddish, but much more yellow (10YR7/6) and powdery. It is much lighter than the typical mound fill sediment and the texture is weird. Comments: More than anything the tan residue looks like what termites do to soil. This is a much more interesting residue than than on a lot of the other cups.
