The degree of fragmentation and irregularity of tepetate areas can be measured with fractal parameters. A lot of different empirical fractal dimensions can be used with this purposed. Some of these dimensions were estimated and compared in the present work. The tepetates lineal and mass fractal dimensions were independent of the scale of measurement. These data indicate the near ideal fractal dimensionality of tepetate areas. The doble value of lineal fractal dimension was similar to the mass fractal dimension. The tepetate surface fractal dimensions indicate the considerable irregularities of tepetate areas boundaries related with advanced erosion in the studied area. (Résumé d'auteur)
