Description

From Imaggeo.egu.eu: http://imaggeo.egu.eu/view/1280/. This is a type of red clay soil produced from weathering of limestone, here you can see the weathering process in action, with parts of the original limestone still to be seen. The red colour comes from lots of iron oxide from rust forming within the clay.
