The weathered Carboniferous limestone at Bullslaughter Bay, South Wales : the first example of ghost-rock recorded in the British Isles

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Carboniferous Limestone at Bullslaughter Bay hosts some of the most notable examples of deep weathering in the British Isles as well as two members of an enigmatic suite of breccias known as the Gash Breccias. The weathered limestone has been investigated thoroughly in order to identify the process responsible for the weathering. In this paper it is demonstrated that the weathering is isovolumetric but the weathering profile is not characterised by a vertical gradient and its depth suggests that meteoric waters did not contribute significantly to the weathering process. The weathered limestone has lost significant amounts of calcium and parts are virtually decalcified. It is seen that the dominant primary minerals of illite and quartz have been preserved while secondary clay minerals are generally absent. The weathered limestone cannot be a saprolite sensu stricto as it has been subjected to only restricted chemical processes. It is, therefore, interpreted as a "ghost-rock". This t
