Tous les auteurs ne distinguent pas dans leur terminologie la cuirasse bauxitique et les cuirasses plus ferrugineuses d'apport latéral. Cependant, on a proposé d'appeler les premières «carapaces», parce qu'elles sont pour ainsi dire sécrétées par le sol comme la carapace d'un animal est constituée à partir de sa substance, et d'appeler «cuirasses» seulement les secondes, puisqu'elles sont un revêtement, comme la cuirasse du guerrier. 10, record 1, French, - alios

Se dit d'une matière qui présente des taches ou des inclusions d'oxyde ou d'hydrate ferrique dont la couleur varie du jaune au rouge. Sous les climats tropicaux, la destruction de la matière organique et la libération du fer, complexé par l'humus amènent l'apparition de cet élément dans le profil sous forme de concrétions ou d'enduits ou à l'état diffus et cette «individualisation» du fer entraîne la rubéfaction du sol (sols ferrugineux tropicaux). 4, record 2, French, - ferrugineux
