Science - Geology / mineral mining
Italian term or phrase: cineritici
This is from a document describing geological surveying techniques.

"L'obiettivo principale era quello di utilizzare il metodo ERT (Electrical Resistivity Tomography) come linea guida per individuare depositi cineritici potenzialmente sfruttabili mediante attività mineraria"

Sounds òlike it should be "ash deposits"

I've searched google for this but haven,t been able to find any documents where both language terms (IT and EN) and present.

Can anyone with geology/geography expèerience confirm this?

Reference: Tephra classification

Reference information:
"Il prodotto di tali eruzioni viene denominato tephra. Questo termine include tutti i materiali lavici lanciati in aria e in parte solidificati come frammenti di varie dimensioni: blocchi (dimensioni superiori a 64 mm), lapilli (da 64 a 2 mm) e ceneri (inferiori a 2 mm). Questi frammenti, smistandosi nel tragitto aereo, formano depositi di aspetto stratificato in modo regolare. Quando prevalgono i blocchi, si parla di brecciole; quando prevalgono i lapilli si parla di tufi; quando prevalgono le ceneri si parla di cineriti."
