An occurrence of maghemitic soil in association with ferroan dolomite in Minas Gerais is characterized by X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements, and Moessbauer spectroscopy. Altered layers on outliers of dolomite, which has composition (Ca1.04Mg0.83Fe0.11Mn0.02)(CO3)2 indicate the weathering sequence: ferroan dolomite yields calcite + poorly-crystallized ferric hydroxide yields maghemite + hematite + goethite. The spontaneous magnetization of the maghemitic soil is 8.8/JT/kg; the magnetization of the soil maghemite itself is estimated to be 25 +/- 5/JT/kg, which is greatly reduced from the value for pure maghemite because of isomorphous substitution.
