Abstract
Reviewing the different meanings that have been given to the term ``laterite'' since Buchanan's original paper (Buchanan, 1807), Schellmann (1981, 1982) proposed to give to this particular rock the following definition: ``Laterites are products of intense subaerial weathering whose Fe and/or Al content is higher and Si content is lower than in merely kaolinized parent rock. They consist predominantly of mineral assemblages of goethite, hematite, Al hydroxides, kaolinite minerals, and quartz.''
