Waste or debris, especially small fragments of rock or organic material produced by erosion or decay.
From Latin 'detritus', past participle of 'deterere' (to wear away, to rub down). Originally a geological term, it expanded to mean any accumulated debris.
Ocean detritus—a mix of dead plankton, fish scales, and broken shells—slowly rains down to create a 'marine snow' that feeds creatures in the deep sea.
