Topic: Pedologist


In the News (Wed 3 Dec 08)

  
  Explorit Stumper Answer
A pedologist studies soils and can identify the source of a soil sample by comparing it with samples of known origin.
With detailed information about color, texture, particle sizes, minerals, oxides, organic matter, and microorganisms a pedologist (often with input from scientists from biological disciplines) can identify a soil sufficiently well to be able to prove its geographical origin.
In the crashed plane case cited above, the plane burned as it crashed and the fact that soil found associated with the wrecked plane had not been burned was evidence that the soil too accumulated after the crash.

I didn't hear this from some pedologist, I heard this from some Chinese magazine before, which claimed there are some eatable soils in nature, and the best of them is very delicious and expensive! Do you think it is possible, and believe it is true?
I could not imagine how these eatable soils can form in nature.
I'm a bit disgusted by the thought, but then again vegans and veggies are opposed to eating meat, so its probably the same thing.
