Note: Repetitive sedimentary rock stratification-formed over the course of a year reflecting seasonal sedimentation variations, usually alternating finer and coarser layers (or ‘varves’) of sand or clay which often exhibit contrasting colors. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Gelaagd afzettingsmateriaal dat in de loop van een jaar wordt afgezet en dat varieert met het seizoen. Vaak is er een afwisseling van fijnere en grovere lagen zand of klei, waarin vaak contrasterende kleuren te zien zijn. |
