Laid out on the
paleosol at Sidney (LaRocque and Forsyth 1957) and in the lake at Cleveland are spruce logs (Fig.
The cultural deposit here can be characterized as a
paleosol whose surface includes a low density of cultural material that appears to have been discarded upon it in a more-or-less random fashion.
The amount of organic matter remaining in a
paleosol is influenced by climate, drainage, and vegetation type; normally, organic production (hence, organic content) in soils is higher in cool moist regions, in poorly drained soils, and where root biomass is greatest.
A NEW OCCURRENCE OF BALD CYPRESS IN A
PALEOSOL ON THE SILVER BLUFF
A 2-meter thick, sequence-bounding
paleosol developed at the top of the Glen Rose Formation near Kerrville, Texas yields a meteoric calcite line (MCL) with a mean [delta][d.sup.18]O value of -3.8[per thousand], and [delta][d.sup.13]C values that range from -3.7 to -4.8[per thousand] VPDB.
The road cut exposes about 10
paleosol sequences developed one on top of each other on successive volcanic ash fall deposits.

The upper 7 m of the band of fossil soil, or
paleosol, contains more than 0.1 percent carbon, which is an unusually high concentration for Precambrian
paleosol, Ohmoto says.
The Peoria Loess is separated from the Loveland Loess by the Sangamon
Paleosol (Prior 1991).
6c): (1) water percolation through and evaporative salt concentration within the Cenozoic sediments, with associated salt scald development around the periphery of remnant Cenozoic gravels and duricrusts; (2) partially confined lateral flow through the pallid deep weathering profile (
paleosol) formed on metasedimentary rocks, underlying the Cenozoic duricrust, where flows intercept the salt partitioned into the weathering profile as it is formed; (3) localised land salinisation at the break in slope; and (4) behind subsurface impediments to flow (structural controls), as observed at the other localities.
This facies association is formed by limestone interbedded with reddish and greenish siliciclastic mudstone with mottling and carbonate nodules suggesting frequent subaerial exposure and
paleosol development (as interpreted for facies associations F and G).
