Mineralogical, Petrographic, and Physical Investigations on Fossiliferous Middle Jurassic Sandstones from Central Sardinia (Italy) to Define Their Alteration and Experimental Consolidation
TL;DR: In this paper, the mineralogical-petrographic and physical features of Middle Jurassic sandstones with macrofossil plant remains belonging to the Domenico Lovisato collection, housed at the Geological and Palaeontological Museum of the Cagliari University (Sardinia, Italy), have been studied to define the alteration processes and the consolidating treatment.

Lime injection technique to improve the behaviour of soft marine clays
S. Narasimha Rao,G. Rajasekaran +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a test program was carried out by injecting lime into a soft marine clay in a test tank, which showed good promise for the use of lime grouting in the treatment of weak marine clayey deposits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some trends in pedology
R. Brewer,J.R. Sleeman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors made an attempt to assess significant trends in pedology, especially those relevant to the study of profile genesis, including soil morphology, soil systematics, field pedology and soil formation.

Palaeogeographic significance of clay mineral distributions in the Inferior Oolite Group (Mid Jurassic) of southern England
L. E. Jones,B. W. Sellwood +1 more
TL;DR: Jones et al. as discussed by the authors identified five distinct mineral assemblages in the Inferior oolite of S. England, including illite, illite-smectite, kaolinite, chlorite, and graphite, with mixed-layer clays being largely poorly crystalline and randomly interstratified.

Clays as prebiotic photocatalysts
TL;DR: It is discovered that clays emit light upon dehydration, and the correlation between dehydration-induced, or thermoluminescent, processes and the yield of glycine oligomers after treatments known to affect the luminescent yields is tested in an effort to understand the catalytic mechanism.
