Bauxite
Bauxite deposits usually are discovered from outcrops and fragments of float. Rock associations, however, may serve as a guide, bauxite being commonly found with clay, limestone or certain igneous rocks such as syenites, feldspathic schists, dolerites and basalts. Probably the most striking association of bauxite is with old land surfaces.

Evolution of Bauxite Accumulation in the Phanerozoic
Bauxite accumulation in the Cenozoic took on a grandiose scale (85% of the world's total reserves of about 100 billion tons). It was caused by the expansion of areas of leveled land with a tropical climate, abundance of precipitation, and organic matter, which led to the formation of many large and super-large bauxite deposits.

Morphological, microstructural and mineralogical dataset of bauxite
In this study, we present the main findings from microstructural and mineralogical studies and their implications for the genesis of bauxite/laterite in Mainpat plateau. Megascopic studies showed reddish laterite to off-white bauxite. Strong hydrolytic action formed small oolites and large pisolites with sizes of 1–2 cm in diameter. Pisolites …
