Soil clump

A standalone irregular clump, mound, patch, or heap of brown soil shown as a simple exposed earthy mass rather than a formal layered profile. It has a rough crumbly granular texture with uneven natural edges, small aggregates and clods, mixed fine and coarse particles, scattered pebbles or mineral grains, and darker organic flecks or speckles throughout. Color ranges from tan and medium brown to dark brown, sometimes with reddish-brown tones. There may be subtle darker and lighter areas suggesting organic matter and minerals, but no clearly exposed horizon structure, roots, or plants.
