A sample of soil is extracted from a depth of 5 meters at a site and taken to the lab for testing. The soil is sieved: (1) the soil contains no sand, and (2) the fines content is 52%. The Atterberg limits for the finer fraction of the soil are then found to be 80 and 50. Classify the soil (provide the group symbol only).
