Marl: Guide
Marls are calcium carbonate or lime-rich muds or mudstones which contain variable amounts of clays and calcite or aragonite. The term is most often used to describe lacustrine (lake) sediments but may also be used for marine deposits. The term 'marl' is widely used in North American geology, while the term seekreide is used in European references.
The lower stratigraphy|stratigraphic units of the chalk White cliffs of Dover|cliffs of Dover consist of a sequence of glauconite|glauconitic marl followed by rhythmically-banded limestone and marl layers. Similar upper Cretaceous cyclic sequences in Germany have been correlated with Milankovitch cycle|Milankovitch orbital forcing.
Marl is common in post-glacial lake bed sediments, often found underlying peat bogs. It has been utilized as a soil conditioner and acid soil neutralizing agent.
