The plaster cracks naturally, and Varejão paints them in a monochromatic white, coloring the edges a claylike shade to lend them the appearance of cracked terra cotta.

An insect far to my left on the mossy floor; a gray jay, maybe 103 yards away; and, even farther, the Hoh River, its waters a quiet, claylike, alluvial blue, stained by the rocky beaches banking it.

By 2020, Jinchuan's laterite - a claylike substance from which metal can be extracted - project in Indonesia, in which it holds 60 percent alongside a local partner, will have production capacity of 50,4003 tonnes of nickel and 5,000 tonnes of cobalt, said Wang.

Napa cabbage requires deeply loosened medium heavy soil. There must not be any compaction due to plowing. The crop achieves particularly high yields on sandy loam. Extremely sandy or claylike soils are not suitable.

Gazar was developed by the Swiss textile firm Abraham in collaboration with Basque couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga, who featured silk gazar in his collections of 1960–68.Schoeser (2007), p. 146 Balenciaga's mastery of this gleaming, lightweight fabric with its "claylike" ability to hold its shape was exemplified by the trapezoid wedding gowns in his collections of 1967 and 1968.

Motukoreaite occurs as claylike cement or hexagonal tabular crystals up to in size that form rosettes, boxworks, and subparallel aggregates. The crystals are semitransparent and are white, pale yellow, pale yellow-green, or colorless. The mineral readily dehydrates partially. Motukoreaite has been found in association with apatite, barite, calcite, chabazite, calcic plagioclase, gismondine, gypsum, hisingerite, hydrotalcite, limonite, magnetite, montmorillonite, nordstrandite, olivine, phillipsite, pyroxene, quartz, and zeolites.

A Most Damnable Invention: Dynamite, Nitrates, and the Making of the Modern World, Stephen R. Bown, Macmillan, 2005, , p. 157. Caliche can also refer to various claylike deposits in Mexico and Colombia. In addition, it has been used to describe some forms of quartzite, bauxite, kaolinite, laterite, chalcedony, opal, and soda niter. A similar material, composed of calcium sulfate rather than calcium carbonate, is called gypcrust.

The winds would then disperse the loess into the valleys of the Danube and Tisza rivers to the southeast. On the wet grounds, the loess became more compact, becoming thinner and claylike. The surrounding dried land became more and more elevated thus creating the depressions which began to collect water. The process was helped with the erosion which was caused by the water flowing into the depressions.

Along the fjord meadows and swamps often go directly into the fjord without any beaches. The bottom along the coastline consists of claylike silt, and one has to go quite far out to reach any significant depth in many places. These conditions are not favourable for beach life. In many places banks of reeds reach all the way into the fjord, making it impossible to walk along the coast.

Together with a South Canal the North Canal encircles the sound starting by the town Kolind 26 kilometers inland and ending the encircling a few kilometers before Grenå. At Kolind the level of the canals is a bit more than one meter above sea level. The North and South Canal cut of streams that would otherwise run into the former lake. The fertile claylike soil in the sound consists mainly of two types of aquatic deposits, marine and fresh water silt.
