Reynard (Rd)

Map: Reynard Map Unit

Geology



The rocks within this map unit are comprised of Devonian intrusives (Mt Taylor porphyry) and Carboniferous sediments.

Landform

Rolling to steep hills.

Soils

Most of this complex has shallow soils with large areas of rock outcrop. Two profiles examined on the lower slopes (less than 20%) had the following characteristics:

Surface Soil

One dark grey (10YR4/1), the other brown (10YR5/3) clay loam.

Subsoil

Abrupt boundaries at 25 and 30 cm, both subsoils yellowish brown (10YR5/6) medium clay.

Chemical and Physical Analyses

No chemical and physical analyses were carried out on these soils.

Land Use

Mostly under forest, some grazing. It may be convenient to separate two components within this unit mapping out the areas with slopes generally less than (say) 20%, as the more gentle slopes are less likely to be prone to erosion.
