Some topics were reviewed more intensively than others, either because a recent review had not been made, a concept was relatively new or thought particularly important, orthere was perceived to be some misunderstanding about a concept. The concept of fundamental illite particles and the phenomenon ofinterparticle diffraction, relatively new concepts that arereshaping the manner of visualizing mixed-layer clays, are discussed in somedetail. A discussion of shaly-sandlog analysis, from a claymineralogy perspective, is included. Isotope geology is discussed because of its potential for permitting a better understanding of temperatures and timing of diagenesis. The role of clay minerals in sandstone diagenesis, per se,is only cursorily reviewed; references are given to reviews and compendiums on sandstone diagenesis, of which the role of clays is but a part. We have not attempted to make a complete literature search on any of the chapter topics, so unintentional omissions of some concepts or individual "good" published papers can be expected. We have collaborated to some extent on some of the chapters, but primary responsibility for chapters 1,2,4,5, and iii Downloaded from http://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/books/book/chapter-pdf/3801090/9781565762497_frontmatter.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 the appendix was that of Pevear, and primary responsibility for chapters 3,6, 7, 8, and 9 was that of Eslinger.

    Mapping Phyllosilicates and Aqueous Alteration Products at Tyrrhena Terra, Mars

    52nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2021 (LPI Contrib. No. 2548) 1323.pdf MAPPING PHYLLOSILICATES AND AQUEOUS ALTERATION PRODUCTS AT TYRRHENA TERRA, MARS. F. H. Grant1 and J. L. Bishop2, 1University of California, Los Angeles (Los Angeles, CA; [email protected]), 2SETI Institute (Mountain View, CA). Summary: Outcrops of phyllosilicates and small sites of less common aqueous alteration minerals were mapped at Tyrrhena Terra on Mars using CRISM pa- rameters, and CRISM spectral data were collected to more closely analyze the mineralogy in this region. Fe- and Mg-rich smectite and chlorite group phyllosilicates are both detected at Tyrrhena Terra, including sapo- nite, chamosite, and clinochlore. Zeolites and car- bonates are among the rarer alteration minerals also observed at Tyrrhena Terra that further constrain the alteration history in this region. More chlorite than smectite is observed, indicating higher temperature alteration processes occurred at Tyrrhena Terra. Introduction: Tyrrhena Terra is a region in the southern hemisphere of Mars, between the Isidis and Hellas impact basins and south of Libya Montes. The selected study site (Fig. 1) is of particular interest be- cause it has a large concentration of phyllosilicate minerals exposed on the surface, among small outcrops of rarer aqueous alteration minerals [1]. Phyllosilicates are a crucial mineral group to study when striving to understand the aqueous alteration history of a region. Less common aqueous alteration minerals, including zeolite, carbonate, and hydrated sulfates, are also im- portant to further constrain the alteration history of a region [2]. For this research project, we focused pri- marily on identifying the phyllosilicate minerals smec- tite and chlorite.

Firstly, khellin was loaded into the HNT lumen by the vacuum-assisted procedure. The drug confinement within the halloysite cavity has been proved by water contact angle experiments on the HNT/khellin tablets. Therefore, the loaded nanotubes were coated with chitosan as a consequence of the attractions between the cationic biopolymer and the halloysite outer surface, which is negatively charged in a wide pH range. The effect of the ionic strength of the aqueous medium on the coating efficiency of the clay nanotubes was investigated. The surface charge properties of HNT/khellin and chitosan/HNT/khellin nanomaterials were determined by ζ potential experiments, while their morphology was explored through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Water contact angle experiments were conducted to explore the influence of the chitosan coating on the hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of halloysite external surface.

    www.natureswayresources.com GREENSAND Greensand is a naturallyoccurring mineral mined from ocean deposits from a sedimentary rock known as “Glauconite”. It is often an olive-green colored sandstonerock found in layers in many sedimentary rock formations. Origin of Greensand Greensand forms in anoxic (without oxygen) marine environments that are rich in organic detritus and low in sedimentary inputs. Some greensands contain marine fossils (i.e. New Jersey Greensand). Greensand has been found in deposits all over the world. The greenish color comes from the mineral glauconite and iron potassiumsilicate that weathers and breaks down releasing the stored minerals. The color may range from a dark greenish gray, green-black to blue-green dependingon the minerals and water content. It often weatherseasilyand forms nodules that have been oxidized with iron bearing minerals that has a reddish brown or rust color. +3 The major chemical description is ((K,Na)(Fe , Al, Mg)2(Si,Al)4O10(OH)2) General chemical information: Iron (Fe) 12-19% Potassium (K) 5-7 % Silicon (Si) 25.0% Oxygen (O) 45% Magnesium (Mg) 2-3 % Aluminum (Al) 1.9 % Sodium (Na) 0.27% Hydrogen (H) 0.47% Over 30 other trace minerals and many micronutrients.

    Ferric Saponite and Serpentine in the Nakhlite Martian Meteorites

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 136 (2014) 194–210 www.elsevier.com/locate/gca Ferric saponite and serpentine in the nakhlite martian meteorites L.J.

Gurman b a Space Research Centre, Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK b Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK Received 29 October 2013; accepted in revised form 7 April 2014; available online 18 April 2014 Abstract Transmission electron microscopy and Fe-K X-ray absorption spectroscopy have been used to determine structure and ferric content of the secondary phase mineral assemblages in the nakhlite martian meteorites, NWA 998, Lafayette, Nakhla, GV, Y 000593, Y 000749, MIL 03346, NWA 817, and NWA 5790. The secondary phases are a rapidly cooled, metastable assemblage that has preserved Mg# and Ca fractionation related to distance from the fluid source, for most of the nakhlites, though one, NWA 5790, appears not to have experienced a fluid pathway. All nine nakhlite samples have also been analysed with scanning electron microscopy, electron probe micro analysis, Bright Field high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction. By measuring the energy position of the Fe-K XANES 1s ! 3d pre-edge transition centroid we calculate the ferric content of the minerals within the nakhlite meteorites. The crystalline phyllosilicates and amorphous silicate of the hydrothermal deposits filling the olivine fractures are found to have variable Fe3+/RFe values ranging from 0.4 to 0.9. In Lafayette, the central silicate gel parts of the veins are more ferric than the phyllosilicates around it, showing that the fluid became increasingly oxidised.

    HIGH TEMPERATURE PHASES in SEPIOLITB, ATTAPULGITE and SAPONITE Gnoncrs Kulnrcrr,* Departmentof Geology, Uniters'ityof Lllinois, Urbana,Illinois

    THE AMERICAN MINERALOGIST, VOL 44, JULY_AUGUST, 1959 HIGH TEMPERATURE PHASES IN SEPIOLITB, ATTAPULGITE AND SAPONITE Gnoncrs Kulnrcrr,* Departmentof Geology, Uniters'ityof lllinois, Urbana,Illinois. AssrnA.cr The high temperature reactions of sepiolite, attapulgite and saponite were studied by continuous high temperatute rc-ray diffraction techniques. The easy formation of enstatite from the fibrous minerals is explained by structural analogy. The reactions of the well crystallized specimens of sepiolite and attapulgite difier somewhat from those of their massive sedimentary varieties. The difierences cannot be ex- plained with the chemical and structural data, suggesting possible variations in some inti- mate details of the framework of these two varieties. INrnooucuox The nature of the crystalline phases formed by firing the magnesian clay mineralshas beendescribed (2,3,7, I0, 12,15, 16),but only for the well crystallized chlorites (3) have the precise conditions of formation of these phases as well as their structural relationships with the starting material been clearly determined. The three minerals chosenfor this investigation provide difierent struc- tural arrangementsof the same type of lattice in a series of Al-Mg hydrous silicates.Saponite and sepiolite have the same bulk composi- tion but they difier in the mode of assemblage,i.e. layers or ribbons, of their structural units. Attapulgite has the same kind of framework as sepiolite, but a large proportion of magnesium has been replaced by aluminum or iron. It was thought that, by taking advantage of these features and by using a method of continuous high-tempetature x-ray diffraction analysis,a new contribution to the problem would be possible.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF PAUL C, SINGLETON for the Ph.D. in Soils (Name) (Degree) (Major) Date thesis is presented July 28, 1965 Title NATURE OF INTERLAYER MATERIAL IN SILICATE CLAYS OF SELECTED OREGON SOILS - Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved = ajor professor) Ç A study was conducted to investigate the nature of hydroxy interlayers in the chlorite -like intergrade clays of three Oregon soils with respect to kind, amount, stability, and conditions of formation. The clays of the Hembre, Wren, and Lookout soils, selected to represent weathering products originating from basaltic materials under humid, subhumid, and semi -arid climatic conditions respectively, were subjected to a series of progressive treatments designed to effect a differential dissolution of the materials intimately asso- ciated with them. The treatments, chosen to represent a range of increasing severity of dissolution, were (1) distilled water plus mechanical stirring, (2) boiling 2% sodium carbonate, (3) buffered sodium citrate -dithionite, (4) boiling sodium hydroxide, and (5) preheating to 400 °C for 4 hours plus boiling sodium hydroxide. Extracts from the various steps of the dissolution procedure were chemically analyzed in order to identify the materials removed from the clays. X -ray diffraction analysis and cation exchange capacity determinations were made on the clays after each step, and any differences noted in the measured values were attributed to the removal of hydroxy interlayers from the clays. Hydroxy interlayers were found to occur more in the Hembre and Wren soils than in the Lookout soil, with the most stable interlayers occurring in the Wren. Soil reaction was one of the major differences between these soils.
