2019, Quaternary Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Denudation rates deduced from cosmogenic studies suggest a similar rate of about 27 t km2 yr−1 for the Congo basin (Algharib, 1992), which is in the same range as other cosmogenic studies for drainage basins in central and western Africa, located in similar climatic, morphologic and lithologic setting. For example, 8 to 22 t km−2 yr−1 for the Burkina-Faso craton (Brown et al., 1994) and 7 to 16 t km−2 yr−1 for the Nyong River in Cameroon (Regard et al., 2016). These estimates are stable over long geological timescales (107–108 years), since mass budgets determined from morphological studies suggest rates of 14.6 t km−2 yr−1 (Guillocheau et al., 2016) to 16–22 t km−2 yr−1 over the last 35 Ma (Leturmy et al., 2003), in the same range as other but similar catchments in central and western Africa (Beauvais and Chardon, 2013).

2016, Ore Geology ReviewsCitation Excerpt :In-situ laterite was formed during the Cretaceous–Tertiary at ca. 102–65 Ma (c.f., Brown et al., 1994; Burke and Gunnell, 2008) with the highest elevated profile forming a bauxite landscape (Beauvais et al., 2008). This was deeply eroded during the Eocene to Miocene epochs (Brown et al., 1994; Beauvais et al., 2008) to form several discrete transported ferricrete profiles (glacis). Atop and near manganese-bearing rock units, discrete manganese-rich duricrusts, or transported manganese-enriched talus profiles, were developed.
Compilation of West African mineral deposits: Spatial distribution and mineral endowment
2016, Precambrian ResearchCitation Excerpt :The ferruginous lateritic duricrusts developed during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic in stable, slowly eroding, tropical environments of contrasting seasons (Nahon, 1991). The lateritic crusts commonly form through in situ chemical processes; iron crusts are located on lower present-day elevations relative to bauxitic formations (Yardy, 1993; Brown et al., 1994). Laterites that formed as caps and ferruginous duricrusts host a variety of associated minerals including magnetite, goethite, hematite (martite), silica, gibbsite; minor manganese, sulphur and phosphor.
