Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) determinations and trace-element analyses have been firstly carried out, at Chaillac, on two ferruginous sandstone sections of hydrothermal and lateritic origins, respectively. The goethite has been identified as the main AMS carrier. Distinct AMS patterns and characteristic Ti-As anomalies have been observed, which allows to quantify the importance of hydrothermal and lateritic processes when both are superimposed. These preliminary results show that the 'Fe-Ba complex' of hydrothermal origin at Chaillac has been lateritized for a few meters from the present erosion surface.
