AI overview
Marl is a type of sedimentary rock or soil made up of a mixture of clay and calcium carbonate (limestone), typically formed in ancient seas or lakes. It matters because it has been historically used as a fertilizer to improve soil quality and is also studied by geologists to understand past environments and climate conditions.
