Studies of some Vermiculite-Type Clay Minerals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2024
Abstract
X-ray and electron-diffraction studies, and differential thermal analyses of the clay fraction of some soils from Virginia, New Jersey, and Wisconsin indicate an abundance of minerals resembling vermiculite. Measurements of the 060 spacing for these minerals give values lower than those obtained for trioctahedral vermiculites. It is suggested that the minerals studied are dioctahedral forms, which have resulted from the weathering of muscovite-type micas.
