Alluvium

Alluvium is loose, unconsolidated (not cemented together into a solid rock)soil or sediment that has been eroded, reshaped by water in some form, and redeposited in a non-marine setting.Alluvium is typically made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel. When this loose alluvial material is deposited or cemented into a lithological unit, or lithified, it is called an alluvial deposit.

Most alluvium is geologically Quaternary in age, and is often referred to as "cover" because these sediments obscure the underlying bedrock. Most sedimentary material that fills a basin ("basin fill") that is not lithified is typically lumped together as "alluvial". Alluvium of Pliocene age occurs, for example, in parts of Idaho.Alluvium of late Miocene age occurs, for example, in the valley of the San Joaquin River, California.
