Page 406 - Under tropical conditions, acidic rocks such as aplites, pegmatites or granites and granitic gneisses, do not undergo primary lateritization but gradually change through katamorphism into pipe or pot-clays, or more or less quartziferous and impure kaolins. (!') Under tropical conditions, lateritic earths and even pot-clays may undergo desilication, with the formation of concretionary and surficial masses of bauxite. (g) Under temperate conditions, the katamorphism of basic rocks is not a lateritic...
