Pore linings.

Pore linings are zones of accumulation that may be either coatings on a ped or pore surface or impregnations of the matrix adjacent to the pore or ped. See Vepraskas (1994) for a complete discussion.

 

In this example, iron has accumulated along pores walls lining the interior of the pore in a depleted matrix. Over time, these linings may become several millimeters thick. Also note the accumulation of silty material translocated from an overlying horizon along the pore wall.
