Strontium isotopes reveal weathering processes in lateritic covers in southern China with implications for paleogeographic reconstructions.

The isotope ratios of Sr are useful tracers for studying parent material sources, weathering processes, and biogeochemical cycling. Mineralogical and geochemical investigations of two lateritic weathering covers, in an area close to the Tropic of Cancer (Guangxi Province, southern China), were under...
