abstract = "This study reports the geological characteristics of a tonal
anomaly in an area of hydrocarbon microseepage, identified in
Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM)images. A diversified dataset was
gathered, which included soil gas geochemistry determinations,
soil radioactivity intensity and soil magnetic susceptibility
measurements, as well as laboratory soil spectra. Data indicated
that the tonal anomaly holds a higher concentration of gaseous
hydrocarbons in soils than the surroundings, accompanied by
enrichment in radioactive minerals. However, there is no
definitive evidence of magnetic mineral enrichment inside the
tonal anomaly compared with the surroundings. An intense
silicification process, characterized by a cover of fine-grained
silicified cobbles and boulders, seems to be responsible for
inhibiting the development of diagenetic clay mineralization, as
indicated by variations in the depth of the 2200 nm soil spectra
absorption band.",
