A novel mechanism of spheroidal weathering: a case study from the Monchepluton layered complex, Kola Peninsula, Russia

We describe an unusual pattern of spheroidally weathered surface developed in a mineralized harzburgite of Mount Kumuzhya, Monchepluton layered complex of Early Proterozoic age, Kola Peninsula, Russia. This rock is composed of a matrix and spheroids, which differ in their paragenesis and textures. T...
