It contains 25-60% calcium carbonate, is coherent (even when dry), and has a permeability similar to that of fine sand. 1, record 2, English, - tangue

«La tangue» des côtes de Normandie et de Bretagne est intermédiaire entre la vase et les sables calcaires : on y reconnaît des colloïdes organiques ou ferreux, des tests planctoniques, mais surtout des sablons et des poudres calcaires. [...] la tangue est [...] perméable et litée; un tel sédiment se trouve probablement à l'origine de beaucoup de marnes; elle peut atteindre plusieurs mètres d'épaisseur. 1, record 2, French, - tangue
