Lapilli size was what I said. It is used here as a size term.

I wasn't trying to say it was in pyroclastics. epiclastics
would be more likely.

About the location of placers I am trying to say that they are formed more by light material being washed away than heavy material being moved to its location. The latter process except in isolated circumstances is more likely to cause dispersal than concentration. I realize that both process occur but I don't think placers are formed then moved 20 miles or more to where they then form. If you have a placer forming 30 miles from source it is from mass wasting from vein structure that have moved and then were washed over time by alluvial events.
