👉 The term "lacustrine" is a scientific name that refers to a type of rock formation, specifically those formed by the erosion and weathering of mud or silt. Lacustrines are characterized by their large, irregular shapes and often have a characteristic paleoceanic appearance due to the presence of marine organisms such as corals, sponges, and plankton. The term "lacustrine" is derived from the Latin word "lacus," which means "water."
