4. Pedofeatures
They are pedofeatures that occur in the matrix, but adjacent to natural surfaces (generally voids).
They can be the impregnative, depletion or fabric type.
The types that can be distinguished are the same as in the coatings.
They are often from:
accumulation of carbonates
accumulation of Fe compounds
 
      
   
   
 
  
accumulation of Mn compounds
 
 
  
depletion of Fe/Mn compounds
