Carl, I beg to differ with you. There is a lot of clay in portions of TV's, especially south of 466A. When they were building all through Gilchrist and Fernandina, certain sections were nothing but orange (really orange) clay.
I do believe there is a big difference here, from block to block. Just my thoughts ...
