| Deposits formed on hill slopes are called colluvium where they are fine-grained, and taluvium if they are of coarse-grained rock debris. |
| Gravitational sediments can enter a cave system in the form of entrance talus material, colluvium, roof fall, or phreatic infiltrates. |
| Archaeologists can use the evidence of pollen, alluvium, and colluvium to study the past environment. |
| Bronze Age and Neolithic pottery and flints from the basal soil and the colluvium indicate that a settlement was nearby. |
| You can see the differentiation of layers in an inceptisol formed on colluvium in West Virginia on the right. |
| Soils of the gap floor are Andover, a deep, poorly drained loam of low permeability derived from sandstone and shale colluvium. |
