前寒武纪岩石的“风化剖面”或“风化层”目前日益被当作古土壤或化石土壤看待,现正开始使用标准的土壤科学技术来进行研究,尽管它们由于一般经过变形和变质,还存在许多有待解释的问题。不过,就地质上比较年轻的古土壤而言,前寒武纪时期的古土壤可揭示出许多有关遥远过去时期土壤形成的气候、生物体、母岩物质、地形 Precambrian rocks, which are now “weathered” or “weathered”, are increasingly being treated as ancient soils or fossil soils and are now being studied using standard soil science techniques, although they still exist due to general deformation and metamorphism Many questions to be explained. However, paleo-Precambrian soils can reveal, in terms of geologically younger paleo-soils, a great deal of information on the climate, organisms, parent rock material, topography of the soil formed in the distant past
