| Description | Sample of cailloutis. Taken from base of upper young loess. Some indications of solufluxion in Russ-Wurm deposits. (Coarse pebbles left after lighter solufluxion material has been washed away but they are frost fractured and therefore small and mark an old land surface. They have been exposed to the air to be fractured by frost. Cailloutis is a sort of angular hill wash and is called trail by the English.) |
