Abstract in Portuguese
O proposito deste trabalho foi o de identificar o material de origem e verificar a presença de descontinuidade litológica de dois perfis de solo da série Morro Azul, pertencente ao grande grupo Latossol Vermelho Amarelo fase arenosa, de ocorrência no Município de Iracemápolis, SP. A fração areia dominante, isto é, a fração muito fina, foi a escolhida para o estudo sendo subdividida pelo tetrabromoetano (peso especifico = 2,90) em duas subamostras: (1) minerais leves, com peso específico menor que 2,90; (2) minerais pesados, com peso especifico maior que 2,90. A subamostra contendo os minerais leves foi usada para o estudo do arredondamento dos grãos de quartzo, pela técnica de comparação visual proposta por KRUMBEIN (1941). A composição mineralógica quali e quantitativa da fração pesada foi determinada pelos métodos petrográficos padrões. Os resultados obtidos permitiram as seguintes conclusões principais: (a) os perfis de solo da série Morro Azul são provavelmente derivados de sedimentos retrabalhados da formação Corumbataí; (b) os perfis estudados apresentaram dois pontos de descontinuidade litológica, indicados pelos índices de intemperismo.
Abstract in English
This study was conducted with the objective of determining the parent material and the presence of lithological discontinuity of two complete profiles taken from Morro Azul series, a Red Yellow Latosol-sandy phase occurring in the Iracemapolis Municipality. Very fine sand, the dominant sand, was the size fraction selected for study. Samples of this material were obtained from each individual horizon of the two profiles under study. Each sand fraction was subdivided using tetra-bromo-ethane (sp.gr. 2.90) into two sub-samples as follows: (1) light minerals with specific gravity less than 2.90; (2) heavy minerals with specific gravity greater than 2.90. The sub-sample containing light minerals was used to determine roundness of quartz grains according to KRUMBEIN’s (1941) technique of visual comparison. Qualitative and quantitative mineral composition of the sub-sample containing heavy minerals was determined through standard petrographic procedure. The results obtained led to the following main conclusions: (1) Morro Azul soil series is probably derived from reworked sediments of the Corumbataí formation; (2) the profiles under study presented two points of lithological discontinuity as indicated by their respective weathering indexes.
