A recent revisit to this fossil soil or “paleosol”.
The paleosol is the dark brown colour…a preserved soil.
The bright yellow colour above the paleosol is so unusual. I’ve not seen this elsewhere. I wonder if the sulphate-rich sea spray is part of the chemistry?

Having a dark horizon is not enough to make it a mollic epipedon.
At 0–32 cm, this soil has a moist color of 10YR 2/1, 6.4% organic C, 65.5% base saturation, and fine subangular blocky structure; therefore it is a mollic epipedon.

A high-mountain soil from Colombia 🇨🇴
A Typic Melanocryand developed from volcanic ash over glacial deposits, at 3,960 m a.s.l. in Bugalagrande, Valle del Cauca.
It has a melanic epipedon, with a melanic index of 1.6, Munsell color 10YR 2/1, and 12.5% organic carbon.

Wow! Another surface rupture caught on video!
This time an oblique thrust from Japan.

Beautiful examples of shallow Lithomorphic soils.
Rocks are characteristic of weathered Ice Age materials.
The B horizon is absent. Rocks are a weathered C horizon with minimal soil formation. @Subsolum
Acid Devonian rock vs Calcareous chalkland.
Similar but different!

Soils with relatively low degrees of pedogenic development, derived from mudstone badlands in southwestern Taiwan.
Vegetation root growth influences soil development, and soil profiles indicate organic matter inputs in the surface layer.

Yakutsk, 2017/8/28! Sinking permafrost. It has already melted and turned into gley soil. To my surprise, I found my soil survey shovel, which I had lost a few years ago.
