Abstract

An interstratified clay mineral from Surges Bay, Tasmania, described by Cole & Carthew (1953) as containing a random stacking of illite and montmorillonite in the ratio of 3:2 and a regular stacking of illite and montmorillonite in the ratio of 1 : 1 is re-examined, after purification, and a new interpretation is made of the X-ray diffraction effects in terms of a single complex stacking model. The Fourier transform method of analysis used with an appropriate layer structure factor shows that the interstratification is produced by a three component stacking of 18% single mica layers (A), 10% double mica layers (ĀĀ) and 72% allevardite-like layers (ĀB̄) in which the A and ĀĀ layers are never together. This leads to the conclusion that the near regular interstratification of the mineral is due to structural and/or compositional variation from layer to layer within the parent crystals as suggested by Sudo, Hayashi & Shimoda (1962) to explain similar mineral types occurring in Japan.
