Marine Aggregates Sub Deposit Type (Sites)
This dataset presents marine aggregate deposits classified by sub deposit type, covering near-shore accumulations of non-metallic detrital minerals and calcium carbonate found on beaches and deeper seabed areas. These aggregates, shaped by hydrodynamic processes from originally river- or glacially-deposited material, are principally extracted for construction use. The layer mirrors the main Marine Aggregate point and area layers but is organised by five sub deposit type classes: Sand, Gravel, Pebbles/cobbles, Filling sand and Unclassified. It is published by Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) as part of its marine geological data holdings on aggregate resources.”The aggregate deposits presented here comprise near-shore deposits of non-metallic detrital minerals and calcium carbonate. They occur both on beaches and deeper seabed areas. Marine aggregate deposits are principally extracted for use in the construction industry. Concentrated into their present occurrences by hydrodynamic processes, aggregates may have originally been deposited by mechanisms such as river or glacial deposition. The Sub Deposit Types Aggregates layer are the same as the main Marine Aggregate point and area layers but are based on the “Sub Deposit type” – of which there are 5 classes – Sand, Gravel, Pebbles/cobbles, Filling sand and Unclassified.
