Book excerpt: Excerpt from Major, Minor, and Trace Elements in Sediments of Late Pleistocene Lake Saline Compared With Those in Lake Michigan Sediments The major elements, expressed as oxides (cao, 002; Mgo), and loss on ignition reflect the general stratigraphy in that their percentages are all quite low in the weathered zone of the Farmdale Soil and are at intermediate levels in the top sample, which has been somewhat affected by weathering of the Modern Soil. The percentage of illite in the clay minerals shows the same general relation but in exaggerated form, The silica percentage is the reverse of these values because quartz and the silicates are the least weatherable of the minerals; therefore, the silica percentage of the total increases as the carbonate minerals are removed.
