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. © SGEM2016.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCalcreteCappadocia (central Anatolia)Clay mineralsLate miocenePaleoenvironmentPaleosolConference Object119320010.5593/SGEM2016/B11/S01.0252-s2.0-84994168964N/A
