A Crystallochemical Classification of Simple and Interstratified Clay Minerals
TLDR
A previous classification scheme for clay minerals is revised and extended; the underlying principles are analyzed in detail in this article, where the authors propose a new classification scheme based on the existing classification scheme.Abstract:

Summary of recommendations of nomenclature committees relevant to clay mineralogy: report of the association internationale pour l’etude des argiles (aipea) nomenclature committee for 2006
Stephen Guggenheim,J. M. Adams,D. C. Bain,Faïza Bergaya,Maria Franca Brigatti,Victor A. Drits,Milton Luiz Laquintinie Formoso,Emilio Galán,Toshihiro Kogure,Helge Stanjek +9 more
TL;DR: The AIPEA Nomenclature Committee as discussed by the authors has worked closely with other international groups, including the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names (CNMMN) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA), which is responsible for the formal recognition of new minerals and mineral names, and the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), which considered extensions to the nomenclatures of disordered, modulated and polytype structures.

Interstratified Clay Minerals
D. M. C. MacEwan,A. Ruiz-Amil +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was verified that this irregularity was due to the interstratification of different types of crystalline layers, which is a phenomenon that was first observed on studying clay minerals by X-ray diffraction.

Structures, compositions, and x-ray diffraction identification of dioctahedral chlorites
TL;DR: The structural units (Ia or IIb) and specific stacking sequences can be explained by a combination of local charge balance and minimization of cation-cation repulsion involving the interlayer and tetrahedral cations as discussed by the authors.
