Abstract Saprolite remnants from different palaeosurfaces in southern Sweden have been analysed by XRD and SEM analyses. They represent two clearly different types. The first is a clay- and silt-rich saprolite with a kaolinite-dominated clay mineral association representative of mature saprolites and with chemically altered quartz grains. This saprolite type is associated with sub-Cambrian, sub-Jurassic and sub-Cretaceous denudation surfaces. The second type is gravelly and in a youthful stage… Expand
