Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Strange spongy stuff After walking a mile or so across plain sand, I was rather surprised to find this black spongy substance on the edge of the (spring low) water.
According to Hugh Venables, it's peat formed in a freshwater environment during a period of lower (relative) sea levels between the end of the last glaciation (10000 years ago) and now. Sea levels rose after the ice melted and then the ground around here has been sinking since. |
