Comme la grésification, la meuliérisation semble bien être liée à des actions pédologiques consécutives à l'émersion. C'est ainsi que la transformation de l'illite en kaolinite dans les argiles de Brie libère de la silice qui peut concrétionner en meulière [...] 3, record 2, French, - meuli%C3%A9risation
