Block of granodiorite. Peru Earthquake May 31, 1970. Block of granodiorite (estimated to weigh 700 tons) that was transported by the Huascaran debris avalanche to near the site of the former town of Ranrahirca. A layer of mud showing polygonal cracks resulted from seepage from the avalanche after it came to rest. The top of the block is covered with mud and rock fragments deposited by the avalanche after the block came to rest. 1970. Figure 6, U.S. Geological Survey Circular 639.

Block of granodiorite estimated to weigh about 7,000 metric tons that was transported by the Huascaran debris avalanche and deposited near the Rio Santa west of Ranrahirca. The top of the block is covered with boulders that were deposited from the debris flow after the block came to rest. This block was left exposed after the enclosing mud flowed and/or was washed away after the avalanche. The pole at the base of the block is 4 meters high. June-July 1970.
