Les gisements alluvionnaires de granulats sont en effect souvent caractérisés par une structure lenticulaire interstratifiée avec de tréquentes passées argileuses.
The aggregate alluvial deposits are in fact often characterized by an interstratified lenticular structure with argillaceous bands occurring frequently.
