This is a general name for all calcareous and foraminiferous matrices that are rendzina soils. If it is possible to identify the date of the foraminifera to the Upper Cretaceous, then the material should instead be related to the petro-fabric calcareous-upper-cretaceous-foraminiferous-rendzina-soil. If the foraminifera are undatable, then the material should be related to this petrofabric. Rendzina soils develop as a result of erosion and attrition processes mainly on Senonian and Eocene chalk and Cenomanian marl formations. They are very common throughout the hilly and mountainous regions of the eastern Medi...
Light brown soil, overlying soft limestone; taken from shallow sections on the side (north) of the road, 5–10 cm from surface. Location: Jerusalem, Har Homa neighborhood, about 1 km east of Derech Hebron road. This sample was taken at the entrance to street (Ben-Shlomo 2019, fig. 6.18.3)
Light brown soil, overlying soft limestone; taken from shallow sections on the side (north) of the road, 5–10 cm from surface. Location: Jerusalem, Har Homa neighborhood, about 1 km east of Derech Hebron road. This sample was taken 350 m west of the preceding sample in fig. 3 (Ben-Shlomo 2019, fig. 6.18:4).
Light brown soil overlying the chalk, 0-60 cm beneath the surface. Location: Jerusalem, Mount Olives, near Mount Scopus, a section within a chalk layer just above the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center, located near the seam between the Mishash formation above and the Menuha formation below (Ben-Shlomo 2019, fig. 6.18.6)
The fabric has a calcareous foraminiferous, silty matrix with various types of microfossils and chalk fragments. Certain amounts of silt-sized quartz grains can occur. Poorly sorted silt to sand-sized chalk fragments as non-plastic components.
