Underlying layers (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

substrata

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">underlying layers</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for substrata that I've seen before include "Underlying rock layers" , "underlying structures?" , "Lower layers" , "Foundations" , "From lower levels" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and the L.A. Times Daily.
