This group is located in the Departments. of San Jose, Canelones y Colonia, being recognizable in the surroundings of Raigon station. The geological material includes sediments of very variable lithology, including mudstones (clayey silt) with gravel, clayey cement sandstones, arkose, clays, etc. belonging to the Raigon formation of the late Tertiary. The relief is made up of dissected slopes, with marked convexity and strong, short slopes of the order of 4 to 10% (rumps). The soils are very variable, although in general the presence of gravel remains constant. The predominant Luvic, sometimes Typical, Subeutric Brunosols and Typical Subeutric Argisols (Praderas Pardas maximas) should be mentioned. The upper horizons are brown to dark brown in color, loamy texture, sometimes silty loam with common gravel, medium fertility and somewhat imperfect drainage. In the Department of Colonia and south of Ecilda Paullier, the Argisols are sandier in texture. As accessories, a wide variety of soils related to lithologies of this formation have been determined in various places, such as Vertisols (Grumosols) of gray colors and Inceptisols (Regosols) formed from arkosic sediments. It should also be noted the presence of soils (normally Brunosols) whose upper horizons have developed from a silt-clayey sediment, corresponding to the accumulation of the overlying interfluve (Libertad formation) and the lower horizons of lithologies of the Raigon formation, with less proportion of silt and major fraction of clay, sand and gravel. The current use of the land is variable, depending on the location of the unit. It can be indicated, however, that in the south of the Dpto.de San Jose It has been under cultivation, currently experiencing severe erosion. This group, for reasons of scale, integrates the Kiyu unit in the Department of Colonia and part of San Jose, the Tala-Rodriguez unit in the Departments. of San Jose y Canelones and the Libertad unit in the Department of San Jose of the letter at a scale of 1:1.000.000 (DSF).
