Well-developed Bt horizons of five palaeosols (P1-P5) have been recorded previously within a 20-m-thick succession of Pliocene siltstones and clayey siltstones in the southern part of the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina. ...

The field properties, magnetic susceptibility, particle size, calcium carbonate content, soil micromorphology and optical luminescence ages of the upper 6.1 m and lowermost 4.7 m of the 45 m loess-palaeosol sequence at El ...

The field properties, micromorphology, grain-size, geochemistry, and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages of two late Quaternary sections have been used to reconstruct the sequence of pedosedimentary processes and ...

Mottled horizons and iron crusts are widespread in soil developed upslope on flat sedimentary plateau located in western of Minas Gerais State (Brazil). In the area, important deposits of high-alumina clays are located at ...

The biomineralization process is genetically controlled, and it is the result of the metabolic activity of different organisms. Microorganisms, plants and animals produce calcium biomineralizations, calcium oxalates and ...

The stratigraphic record of distributive fluvial systems is commonly characterised by frequent and complex interstratification of palaeosols among channel and overbank deposits. However, current models focus primarily on ...

One of these paleosols developed affecting the topmost part of likely Late Glacial aeolian deposits aggraded into a floodplain environment by the end of the Late Pleistocene. The paleosol shows variable grade of development ...

This paper reports the main sedimentary characteristics, soil micromorphology and optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages, and details the pedosedimentary reconstruction, of the Hudson site situated in the northern ...
