Abstract
Soft scaly coatings of both aragonite and calcite were observed on sand and gravel particles at a depth of 0.6 – 1 m in a soil profile developed in a temperate climate in Southern Ontario, Canada. The presence of the aragonite is believed to be related to warm soil temperatures and an abundance of Mg in the dolostone rich sand and gravel deposit. The presence or absence of aragonite may prove of value in differentiating between warm interglacial and cool interstadial soil profiles.
