Les argiles de dimensions granulométriques [...] comprises entre 62 et 4 [microns] sont appelées «argiles des limons». Elles correspondent au sédiment incohérent qu’est le limon et sont encore appelées «silts». Les argiles des limons ont un aspect granuleux [et] peuvent présenter de nombreuses structures sédimentaires caractéristiques des sables [...]; toutefois, ces structures sont moins nettes en raison de la finesse de la texture et probablement de leur fréquence moindre. 2, record 12, French, - silt
