- Abstract
Macro-, micromorphological and petrographic investigations are essential to paleosol research, quantitative and geochemical analyses are also very helpful to infer the environmental, hydrological and climatological conditions at the time of paleosol formation (McCarthy et al. [10]; Sheldon and Tabor [19]). Paleosols (soils incorporated in the stratigraphic column) are products of pedogenesis associated with physical, chemical and biological modifications of sediments formed on a landscape of the geological past (e.g. Mack et al. [7]; Retallack [12]; Kraus and Hasiotis [6]). The hammer handle for scale is 26 cm long The studied paleosol succession can be classified as composite profiles in which sediment aggradation rates were rapid and intermittent (Marriott and Wright [8]). Paleosol development is largely controlled by sediment aggradation rate, degree of erosion and pedogenesis (e.g. Kraus [5]; Retallack [13]).
