Abstract
The study and knowledge of geology is fundamental for any country, hence the need to perform this spectrometric-lithological analysis in the most detailed way possible. Two weathering profiles were chosen, one in the quarry “La Esperanza” in Matanzas and the other in “El Ruso” in Pinar del Río, of calcareous regolith and clay regolith respectively. With this, an exhaustive geological and geophysical investigation was carried out, which allowed characterizing each one of the samples and establishing the mineragenic value of the profiles. The existence of La Esperanza quarry was established, where ridges and blocks are extracted, which are then reduced to tiles or tiles for wall cladding and other uses. The graphs of concentration of the radioelements, and other graphs and pre-established relationships were analyzed, obtaining a spectrometric characterization of the calcareous and clayey regoliths in the mentioned cuts. In addition to the samples of clays, a little more work was done in defining in some cases the main clay minerals present in the samples. In general, research has made it possible to achieve results of relevance and grate updating, importance and scientific-technical novelty, as they had not been registered before in our country or in the rest of the world.
