The Formation is associated with deposits of the Chalk Group, subsequent Palaeogene and Neogene strata, and occasionally Upper Greensand. [2] It occurs in sheets or patches of various sizes over a large area in the south of England, from Hertfordshire on the north to Sussex on the south, and from Kent on the east to Devon on the west.
Another example of the use of spectral gamma ray logs is to identify specific clay types, like kaolinite or illite. This may be useful for interpreting the environment of deposition as kaolinite can form from feldspars in tropical soils by leaching of potassium; and low potassium readings may thus indicate the presence of one or more paleosols.

Flint fields (German: Feuersteinfelder) are large natural deposits of flint.They are found in numerous Jurassic and Cretaceous beds across the whole of Europe. [1]Such deposits may be found in Aachen-Lousberg, Kleinkems, Schernfeld, Osterberg bei Pfünz, Baiersdorf, Abensberg-Arnhofen and Lengfeld as well as the German island of Rügen.
The original soil surface is buried, and the formation process must begin anew for this deposit. Over time the soil will develop a profile that depends on the intensities of biota and climate. While a soil can achieve relative stability of its properties for extended periods, [ 117 ] the soil life cycle ultimately ends in soil conditions that ...
Vaqueros Formation sandstone with concretions A mosaic of images showing spherules, some partly embedded, spread over (smaller) soil grains on the Martian surface. Concretions are found in a variety of rocks, but are particularly common in shales, siltstones, and sandstones. [30]
Main descriptions should be kept concise however they can be followed by further details if applicable such as, density, discontinuities, bedding, colour, composite soil types, principal soil type, stratum name, geological formation, age and type of deposit and classification.

When the soil dries out, it contracts vertically, assisting the soil slowly down a slope. [5] A common geomorphological, chiefly dependent on the local hydrology such as hydraulic action, at the base of the Lower Greensand is an escarpment, where the Hythe Beds overlie the Atherfield and Weald Clays, which is particularly susceptible to ...
Depending on its physical characteristics, a number of different names, such as underclay, fireclay, flint clay, and ganister, can be applied to a specific seatearth. Underclay [ edit ]
