| Abstract/Notes | SummaryKaolinite is the major mineral in the saprolite of a fossil laterite, found intercalated amid basalt flows from the Lower Cretaceous in the Negev desert. The kaolinite was produced by pseudomorphic alteration of plagioclase. Haematite is a secondary product and accumulated in a ferruginous soil horizon. In the saprolite Sr, Mn and Cu were strongly depleted, Zn and Ni were slightly depleted, whereas Co and Cr accumulated. In the ferruginous horizon, Sr, Mn, Cu and Zn were severely depleted, while Cr and Ni accumulated. The lateritic formation is evidence for the possible existence of tropical or intertropical conditions during the Lower Cretaceous in the Negev. |
