4. Pedofeatures

Hypo-coatings

 

 

They are pedofeatures that occur in the matrix, but adjacent to natural surfaces (generally voids).

They can be the impregnative, depletion or fabric type.

The types that can be distinguished are the same as in the coatings.

They are often from:

accumulation of carbonates

 

accumulation of Fe compounds

 

accumulation of Mn compounds

 

depletion of Fe/Mn compounds
