Clay derived from loess type soils; usually redish calcareous matrix and silt quartz and various amounts of quartz sand and calcareous fragments
Highly birefringent fabric with rounded quartz beach sand and shell combined with Aeolian quartz silt and accessory minerals. This is often referred to as a coastal "loess" though this petrofabric can also be derived from coastal sediments.
