    At this access point in the Diependaal nature reserve, there is a hard layer in the gravel package. This hard bank was created by precipitation of mineral components, in this case lime. The process starts with the dissolution of lime components from the overlying loess by rainwater.
    After the rainwater seeps down, the lime components are deposited again in the gravel, creating a hard layer. In this case one speaks of autochthonous conglomerates. Native, because they originated locally. Conglomerate is derived from the Latin 'conglomerare', which means 'to clump together'. The binding agent is usually silica or iron oxide, but in this digestion it is lime.
