We investigate volumetric strains associated with saprock development at two sites.

Biotite in saprock displays splitting parallel to {001} cleavage planes.

Clay minerals include vermiculite ± biotite/vermiculite, kaolinite ± illite.

CIA values and weathering intensity factors suggest negligible to weak weathering.

Positive volumetric strains are consistent with theoretical values.
