Sand, silt and clay, against every other appellation
Loam
48% sand · 35% silt · 17% clay
Sandier than 71% of California appellations and clayier than 14%. Each grey point is one appellation’s topsoil; appellations nest, so this is a distribution of places rather than of land.
Plus 23% rock fragments by volume, which the triangle does not describe — the three fractions are of the fine-earth material only.
