Lake-deposited clays are for this reason more uniform than estuarine beds, whilst beds deposited at considerable depths in the sea and at a great distance from land are still more uniform.
They are known locally as clunches and underclays and were at one time supposed to represent the soil that produced the vegetation from which the coal was formed, but are now considered by many authorities to be of estuarine origin.
The Estuarine clays of Great Britain--with the possible exception of the Jurassic deposits in Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire--are of minor importance, but in some countries they form a valuable source of clay.
Estuarine deposits partake of the nature of both fluviatile and marine beds, according to their position relative to the river from which they originate.
