Soil Constituents in Eden

What were the constituents of the soil in Eden?
I thought many YECs accepted "apparent age" in their scheme(s)!
Btw: Day 7 seems to me to be God's (holy) rest day and might perhaps be interpreted to include *forever*. I.e., there is no "evening and morning" biblically stated therein.
Eden's soil constituents may have been those that exist today (sub-atomic particles, the 'known' elements, inorganic and organic compounds, etc.) plus 6 thousand years (or so) of additional radiometric decay.
Unfortunately, radiometric clocks might not synchronize validly with diurnal clocks (and/or other measuring devices of time) during the *creation event(s)* and interval(s) following. So your question may be 'flawed' and impossible to answer, scientifically.
Noah's global flood (which few YECs deny) may have jumbled up Eden's soil somewhat, but not enough to accelerate radiometric decay into that soil ... not without boiling all life to death.
The next inevitable phase seems that this thread will devolve into semantic quibbling about time and/or time-clocks.
