Loess

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Deposits of fine sediment are formed by streams that emerge from beneath glaciers and enable one to interpret similar accumulations termed Loess, left about the margins of ice sheets that have now passed away and along the stream channels leading form them. The bluffs of fine, yellowish clay-like material along the Mississippi and Missouri are of this character."
