Alluvium is loose, unconsolidated soil or sediment, eroded, reshaped by water in some form, redeposited in a non-marine setting. Alluvium is made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel; when this loose alluvial material is deposited or cemented into a lithological unit, or lithified, it is called an alluvial deposit. The term "alluvium" is not used in situations where the formation of the sediment can be attributed to another geologic process, well described; this includes: river sediments, or glacially-derived sediments. Sediments that are formed or deposited in a perennial stream or river are not referred to as alluvial. Most alluvium is geologically Quaternary in age and is referred to as "cover" because these sediments obscure the underlying bedrock. Most sedimentary material that fills a basin, not lithified is lumped together as "alluvial". Alluvium of Pliocene age occurs, in parts of Idaho. Alluvium of late Miocene age occurs, for example, in the valley of the San Joaquin River, California.
