Aug 6, 2017 · Residual soils or saprolite are soils that are derived in place from the weathering of the underlying bedrock.> Characterization of Piedmont Residual Soil and Saprolite in Maryland by Missouri University of Science and Technology. The loose, fragmental material on the Moon’s surface is called regolith.

I understand you are at the transition between mass rock and saprolite. Clays are very waterproof, water reservoirs are placed on clays frequently. The weathering proccess is what has started porosity. Saprolite will be very porous. it will become a regolite.

There is still some uncertainty, but some recent research is detailed below: In research reported in the article Barite in the ocean – occurrence, geochemistry and palaeoceanographic applications (Griffith and Paytan, 2012), recent observations and research found that

Are you confident in the density value you have for the rock? 17.5 kN/m^3 is 1.78 g/cm^3 which is very low, unless it is VERY heavily weathered, like a saprolite. $\endgroup$ – g.z. Commented Aug 12, 2019 at 19:28

Jan 20, 2017 · I'm a little mystified by "angle of repose" and the relationship to deposition and transport. In the following image, I detect 2 different angles of repose for the same material.

Both are very similar, as they are based on minerals undergoing erosion and the presence of water in the erosion and deposition cycles, the difference is quite subtle, an example is defined in the Gold Prospecting in Western Australia website Alluvial Gold and Eluvial Gold as being
