- "Residual soil and saprolite developed from metasediments, metagranite, diabase, and serpentinite have been analyzed petrographically, texturally, mineralogically, and chemically. These analyses are used to interpret the chemical mechanisms of alteration of Piedmont crystalline rock to saprolite and the mechanical and chemical alteration of saprolite to soil."
