Abstract
⺠Low clay/silt ratios indicate periglacial chemical weathering. ⺠Secondary mineral assemblages consistent with generally minor chemical weathering. ⺠Temperature and parent lithology exert primary control on clay and silt abundances. ⺠Secondary minerals controlled by climate, regolith residence time, and hydrology. ⺠Quaternary blockfield formation, rather than Neogene initiation, is indicated.
