Big Jimbo Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Any idea what type of soil this might be. The photos show a sample taken from 2.1 meters deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jimbo Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 To me it feels quite granular, and has the colour of red sand. Seem to contain a fair bit of flint in various sizes. I'll get it tested but was just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jimbo Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 It is obviously clay, but sandy clay with flints ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 It looks like a desiccated clay, does it stick together when grab a handful? Big flints or shards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Have a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay-with-Flints, don't know where you are but if any of the places mentioned it may well be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jimbo Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 @MikeSharp01 stiff, feels very granular, i can form it in to a sausage with a fair bit of work, without it squeezing through my fingers. Flints are both small, and big. Thanks for the site. I will take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
