The distribution, physical character, and chemical composition of this deposit reveal that it was washed in from areas having a lateritic soil development, deposited subaerially, and subsequently consolidated by calcium and magnesium carbonates leached from the overlying calcareous formations. Field relations indicate that the lithified clay is probably late Pleistocene. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
