...Tjeerd H. van Andel Abstract Defends the use of the term alterite as a group classification for mineral grains of unknown composition, noting that such deeply altered grains often have diagnostic significance in heavy mineral studies. GeoRef, Copyright 2008, American Geological Institute...
Journal Article
Published: 01 February 1957
American Mineralogist (1957) 42 (1-2): 110–113.
...Dorothy Carroll Abstract Some Dutch mineralogists use the term “alterite” for those mineral grains which are difficult to identify because their optical properties have been changed or altered by weathering processes. Thus, in describing the size-frequency distribution of some heavy minerals from...

... corridors selectively emptied of their alterite, under the effect of a hydraulic gradient. The vertically elongated structure of alteration corridors that cross-cut the Jurassic sequence enables fluid circulation from an upper to a lower aquifer, which were initially separated by a Toarcian marly seal unit...

A. Following the incision of the Vis River canyon, the hydraulic gradient and associated karstic system are flowing northward. The karstic reservoir consists of a network of ‘dissolution-collapse breccia corridors’ oriented N-S and ghost-rock associated with their residual alterite. A soft sedimentary cover lying unconformable over the carbonate allows for alluvial dynamics. B. The pocket valley initiates to the west from the Lergue River, resulting in a drop of the water table and the emergence of a karstic spring at the intersection between a corridor and the scarp. The residual alterite is rapidly evacuated and the corridor centre collapses creating caves large enough to be explored by humans. The soft covering formation is evacuated by withdrawal through the karstic system. C. Regressive erosion progresses eastward, as well as the depletion of the water table. New corridors become exposed to gravitational effects and collapse as the residual alterite is evacuated. Each karstic spring defines a pocket valley head, which propagates northwards, guided by corridors. D. In a later stage, E-W tube galleries connect isolated ghost-rock features to the corridor network. Residual alterites are evacuated by flooding/dewatering of galleries even beneath the overflow spring position during high-flow events. The combined effect of the absence of a marly seal unit and concentrated infiltration due to the St. Maurice polje allows for the development of epiphreatic speleogenesis. Regressive erosion, still propagating northward, leads to the capture of the karstic system initially flowing towards the Vis River canyon (i.e., Cochon Cave).

XRD patterns with principal reflections of the magnetic fraction of (a) corestone and (b) cortex of boulder alterite; from (c) saprock and (d) from argillaceous alterite. The following minerals were also identified: A (anatase) and also Q (quartz) that was added as a standard. Other reflections are related to lithogenic phases as pyroxene-augite (py).

SEM image of titanomaghemites from the cortex of a boulder alterite. Voids correspond to black areas; the gray network corresponds to the cristobalite-K-feldspar mesostasis and Si-Fe microcrystalline plasma. This plasma is composed of goethite, halloysite and smectite. The white fragments (a) correspond to very fractured maghemite presenting dissolution features.
