[Abstract] A soil profile developed from phyllites is studied, it is located under the sediments of the Tertiary basin of As Pontes de García Rodríguez (NW Spain). The mineralogical analysis and the micromorphological features show mat the pedogenetic process comprissed two successive paleoenvironmental steps: The initial stage under subaeric conditions, let to the formation of kaolinite and goethite. During the second one, under permanent hydromorphic conditions, the main feature was a redistribution of iron compounds, with the formation of siderite. For the understanding of paleoprocesses, a present hydromorphous profile located on the basin margen is also studied and compared.
[Resumen] Se estudia un perfil de meteorización y edáfico sobre filitas que se encuentra enterrado bajo los sedimentos de la cuenca terciaria de As Pontes de García Rodríguez (NO de España). El análisis mineralógico y los rasgos micromorfológicos (esferosideritas) ponen de manifiesto que el proceso edafogenético se desarrolló bajo dos paleoambientes sucesivos: El inicial, bajo condiciones subaéreas, conduce a la formación de caolinita y goethita; el segundo, con hidromorfía permanente, afecta fundamentalmente a los compuestos de hierro, originándose siderita. Como ayuda para entender los antiguos procesos, se analiza un perfil situado en el borde de la cuenca.
