Soil from the surroundings of the historic village of Kandelous in the Iranian province of Mazandaran.
Historical geology classifies the origin of soil in the age of palaeogen. The bright yellow colour of this yellowish brown limestone clay results mainly from the mineral limonite and is the result of a relic browning process.
The shape creating process happened due to the escaping water from the limestone clay in a mixed state to the dry state. This self-organized, relief-forming process is a scheme of geomorphological processes.
