| Lithological Description: |
Fluvio-aeolian deposits are loess-like, usually structureless deposits of primarily aeolian silt or very fine-grained sand which has been moved, redeposited and/or modified in situ by various secondary processes (for example, fluvial, colluvial, pedogenic processes). Deposits may be variably sandy or clayey, but retain a dominant particle size within the coarse silt to very fine-grained sand range. |
