Anna Herbst Nov 14, 2017:
Typo - should be "torrskorpelera" which translates into " dry crust clay". See earlier KudoZ answer at https://www.proz.com/kudoz/swedish_to_english/geology/372190...

Another interesting one... see if this helps (https://www.trafikverket.se/TrvSeFiler/Fillistningar/Vagplan...

You'll find reference to your term on p. 2 ... but it took some dicing to figure how to divide up the word searched on torskorpa finally.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Anna Herbst : Yes, "torrskorpa" (please note spelling) = "dry crust" but the geological term for "lera" is "clay" as your reference indicates.
