(7) In Hertfordshire and East Anglia, gravels that are in a similar setting to the Hanborough Terrace contain up to 50% Mesozoic detritus at some localities.

(8) Some crustaceans filter tiny plankton or even bacteria from the water; others are active predators; while still others scavenge nutrients from detritus .

(9) This transition coincides with an upsection increase in megaturbidite beds and increasing abundance of trace amounts of mafic igneous detritus .

(17) In this environment potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride and bicarbonate are readily available, particularly for insects that feed on detritus or plant material.

(18) The fact that these rocks were not supplying detritus to the sedimentary basin is consistent with the geological observation that they always appear covered by the younger deposits, with little or no discontinuity until the Devonian.

(19) The council suggested two breaks be created in the breakwaters enclosing the harbour to assist in the flushing out of sediment or organic detritus .

(20) Now the rubble looked like any other industrial detritus , though the surrounding buildings definitely looked like victims of a bombing.
