Geology
Polish term or phrase: piaski przewarstwione glinami
Pod względem geologicznym są to plejstoceńskie utwory wodno lodowcowe wykształcone w postaci piasków różnoziarnistych przewarstwionych glinami, spoczywających na glinach morenowych. Warstwę wierzchnią stanowi humus.

sand with clay intercalations/interbeds
Explanation:
Zazwyczaj mowi sie (i pisze) "sand with clay intercalations/interbeds".

Crossbed to prawie to samo, ale nie do końca:

Interstratified:
Stratified among or between other bodies; as, interstratified rocks.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Interstratified
Crossbedded:
having layers of rock oblique or transverse to the main beds of stratified rock
http://www.yourdictionary.com/crossbedded

Przykład użycia obu wyrażeń w jednym zdaniu:
Gray or pale-reddish-brown, very gravelly sand interstratified with crossbedded sand and clay-silt beds...

Intercalation opisuje jeszcze inne zjawisko geologiczne.
