Ok, you got me. This Star Trek: The Next Generation snow globe was mine. It even flashes with green and red LED under-lighting. Kids: they will tell you to cherish your childhood, but they are lying to you to get your delicious candy.
Residuum weathered from saprolite parent material from the North Carolina Piedmont.
Residuum is a type of soil parent material which has formed in place. It refers to the soil and subsoil that forms as the result of long weathering over bedrock. It is defined primarily as “the unconsolidated weathered at least partly, mineral material that has accumulated as consolidated rocks disintegrated in place. This distinguishes residuum from most other types of parent material which are commonly classified by mode of transport.
Saprolite is a chemically weathered rock. It commonly underlies soils of the NC piedmont region. Saprolites form in the lower zones of soil profiles and represent deep weathering of the bedrock surface. In describing soils, it is typically designated as a "C" layer if non-cemented and a "Cr" layer if cemented and less than strongly cemented. In outcrops its color commonly comes from ferric compounds.
In this image the reddish brown material is a weathered C layer. The underlying grayish material is a Cr layer.
Saprolites typically form in high rainfall regions which result in chemical weathering and are characterized by distinct decomposition of the parent rock's mineralogy. Conditions for the formation of deeply weathered regolith include a topographically moderate relief flat enough to allow leaching of the products of chemical weathering. Deep weathering can occur in cooler climates, but over longer periods of time.
