Description :
Studies of the pedogenic iron oxyhydroxides in suites of latest Holocene to middle Pleistocene soils formed on alluvial deposits of the transverse ranges, Southern California, indicate that the content and composition of iron oxyhydroxide change in a systematic manner. The results demonstrate that ironoxide analysis is useful for numerical age studies of non calcic soils and shows potential as an indicator of paleoclimates.
