Unraveling the Mystery of Duricrust Formation: A Numerical Model Approach (2026)

A numerical model for duricrust formation by laterisation, Allard et al. (2018), presents a comprehensive study of the combined dating of goethites and kaolinites from ferruginous duricrusts in Central Amazonia. This research, published in Chem. Geol., sheds light on the Late Neogene erosion history of the region. The paper also references Alonso-Zarza and Wright (2010), who explore calcretes in Chapter 5 of 'Developments in Sedimentology,' and Alonso-Zarza (2003), who delves into the palaeoenvironmental significance of palustrine carbonates and calcretes in the geological record in Earth-Sci. Rev. These studies, along with Anand (2005) and Anand and Paine (2002), contribute to our understanding of weathering history, landscape evolution, and the implications for exploration in various regions, including the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia. The paper also cites Ansart et al. (2022) and Ansart et al. (2025), who investigate lateritic duricrust formation on the Guiana Shield and the Cenozoic paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic conditions in the Central Amazon basin, respectively. These studies, along with others like Azmon and Kedar (1985), Bonsor et al. (2014), Boulangé (1984, 1997), Bourman (1985, 1996, 1993), Brantley and White (2009), Brantley et al.
