3.1 Bedrock: a highly heterogeneous medium
The definition of a bedrock differs according to the scale at which it is described.

On a larger scale (metric or decametric, and sometimes even hectometric), bedrock is considered to be all the levels containing organic matter that form a distinct sedimentary unit, including banks that do not contain organic matter (figure 9 )
