| 2608 | SNDYPT | Sandy-peat - A type of peat. It is an unlithified end-member of the impure humic coal series. The impure humic coal series can be subdivided into muddy-peat / sandy-peat (the unlithified form) and impure-coal (the lithified form). Muddy-peat and sandy-peat are distinguished on the basis of their mineral content.
