Red colored paleosols formed within these terrestrial sedimentary rocks comprise predominantly of smectite illite with feldspar, quartz, opal-CT, amphibole. The sedimentary rocks such as limestone, marlstone and diatomite formed in lacustrine environment. The alteration of the ignimbrites caused the depletion of Si, and increase of Al+Fe+Mg, Ti, and K (and related Ba+Sr) favored precipitation of smectite illite in paleosols. The appearance of calcrete from the upper profile level is suggestive of a shift to more arid or more seasonal conditions that is equivalent with a prominent change in sediment provenance.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCappadocia (central Anatolia)paleosolcalcreteLate Miocenepaleoenvironmentclay mineralsConference Object193200WOS:000393240700025N/A
