Laterites are deep stratified weathering profiles which form under tropical and subtropical climatic conditions commonly found at the Earth’s continental surface. Although they are very widespread in (sub)tropical areas, many aspects of their genesis and evolution are still not well constrained. Previous studies have shown that they can be very old (Millions of years) and are therefore records of past climate, but little is known about their temporal evolution, notably in relation with climatic and geodynamic changes, due to the small quantity of age data and the difficulty to date this material. The Guiana shield is of particular interest to study laterites as this area remained tectonically stable and in tropical latitudes since the Creta...
