Abstract
Summary Authigenic calcareous accumulations within regoliths can be simply classified for geotechnical purposes as calcareous soils, calcified soils, powder calcretes, nodular calcretes, honeycomb calcretes, hardpan calcretes, and calcrete boulders and cobbles. Each of these categories represents a particular stage in the growth or weathering of a calcrete horizon and possesses a significantly different range of geotechnical properties. A similar classification can be applied to other pedocretes.
