Evolution of Illite/Smectite from Early Diagenesis Through Incipient Metamorphism in Sediments of the Basque-Cantabrian Basin

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of illite/smectite occurring in an unusually-thick (8000 m) sequence of Mesozoic-Cenozoic sediments in the Basque-Cantabrian Basin, Spain, has been studied using XRD and TEM/AEM.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative XRD and TEM study of the physical meaning of the white mica "crystallinity" index

TL;DR: In this article, the white mica crystallinity index has been analyzed as a function of the following parameters: 1) the domain size, 2) lattice distortion, and 3) the presence of other phyllosilicates overlapping the 10 A XRD peak.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glaucony authigenesis, maturity and alteration in the Weddell Sea: An indicator of paleoenvironmental conditions before the onset of Antarctic glaciation

TL;DR: Three types of glaucony grains were identified in the late Eocene (~35.5–34.1 Ma) sediments from Ocean Drilling Program Hole 696B in the northwestern Weddell Sea, providing an overview of continuous sea-level rise conditions pre-dating the onset of Antarctic glaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of h3o+ in the crystal structure of illite

TL;DR: In this article, the interlayer content of illite IMt-2 was investigated using analytical transmission electron microscopy (ATEM), thermogravimetry (TG), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical composition of smectites formed in clastic sediments. Implications for the smectite—illite transformation

TL;DR: In this article, electron microscopy of representative smectites from soils and sediments revealed that K was present in significant proportions and was the major interlayer cation in soils from pelitic rocks, continental and marine sediments.
