marl
A mixture of clay with carbonate of lime, the latter being present in considerable quantity, forming a mass which is not consolidated, but falls to pieces readily on exposure to the air. The word marl, however, is used so vaguely as to be often ambiguous; and in England some substances are thus designated in which there is no lime. Marl is a valuable fertilizing material for different kinds of soil, according to its composition. In New Jersey the mixtures of greensand with clay much used as fertilizers are commonly called marls. or greensand-marls, and many varieties thus designated contain no more than one or two per cent, of carbonate of lime. Marls and marly soils are especially well developed in the Permian and Triassic of England and on the continent. The upper division of the Keuper in England is known as the “Red Marl Series,” and in places reaches a thickness of 3,000 feet. These marls are largely quarried at various points for making bricks. See shell-marl. -
