2514 SDRSP  Sediment rich in sapropel (coorongite) - A type of sediment rich in organic matter. Sapropel is the unlithified end-member of the sapropelic coal series. The members of the sapropelic coal series can be ranked in order as sapropel (the unlithified form), sapropelic-lignite, and sapropelic-coal (the lithified forms) based on increasing carbon content and decreasing volatile content. Sapropel is an unlithified dark, pulpy, fine organic mud containing concentrations of algae and miospores that are more or less identifiable. It is recommended that the term sapropel is used in preference to terms such as gyttja, dy, afja, forna etc. which have been used inconsistently and haphazardly in the past. Coorongite is a rubber-like, highly resilient structureless algal deposit.
