Science - Geology / soils, paleosols
Spanish term or phrase: alteritas
En el contexto claramente mediterráneo del interior de la península Ibérica, Chaput (1971) y Vaudour (1979) consideraron como paleosuelos a todas aquellas formaciones superficiales con importantes cantidades de caolinita en su complejo de alteración.

Trabajos posteriores sobre determinadas formaciones superficiales del zócalo ibérico han caracterizado estas alteritas, tanto edafogenéticamente (Espejo, 1985; Santisteban et al., 1991; Cantano, 1996; Cano y Recio; 1996 y Núñez y Recio, 1999), como estratigráficamente, coincidiendo la mayoría de los autores en asignarles cronologías pliocenas o finineógenas (Espejo, 1987; Martín Serrano, 1989; Rodríguez Vidal, 1989; Torcal et al., 1990).


Would this be alterites? Weathered rocks? Altered rocks??
thanks
