Abstract
Characteristic features formed by subsurface water flow were found in hillslope soils of the Judean Desert. One such feature consists of laminar carbonate crusts 3-30 mm thick, which cross hard calcrete. Their microstructure displays alternate laminae of residual rock and void-filling sparite. It seems that dissolution proceeded along narrow cracks which were later filled by calcite crystals. Gypsic horizons and gypsic crusts occur in soil further downslope. -from Authors
