Calorimetric study of water adsorption on saponite

TL;DR: In this paper, the isotherms and differential heat of water vapor adsorption on Na- and Ca-saponite samples are measured, and it is shown that the successive stages of hydration of the internal surface of this mineral appear as waves or inflections.

The origin of a complex breccia body within the Upper Cretaceous/Early Eocene succession on Pag Island (Karst Dinarides, Croatia): karstic dissolution and collapse or dilational faulting and collapse origin?

TL;DR: In this article , two genetic scenarios or concepts for the origin of Pag Town breccia body were considered, with observations supporting each of them, with the assumption that the timing of the cavity formation is related mainly to karstification during the Late Cretaceous-Early Eocene emersion phase or is related to dilational faulting during the Palaeogene Dinarides thrusting event.
