Ferricrete in Cape York Peninsula, North Queensland
In Cape York Peninsula ferricrete is found in a wide variety of locations, including scarp edges, lower valley slopes, around surface depressions, on gently sloping interfluves and on recently eroded surfaces. Ferricretes are not associated with any particular geomorphic surfaces, but rather occur where conditions are suitable for iron accumulation and hardening. In general, these conditions are found in the mottled zones of deep weathering profiles, where the mottled zones cement after exposure at the surface, and in lower parts of the landscape, where iron moves laterally to the surface and cements whatever regolith materials may be present. There is no evidence for former extensive covers of ferricrete, nor is there any evidence for particular periods of ferricrete formation. Ferricrete continues to form at present. It is therefore unreliable for determining either relative ages of geomorphic surfaces, or correlating widespread bodies of regolith.
