Clay Mineral Sedimentation in the Ocean

Georges Millot's first and last reviews were, therefore, devoted to clay sedimentation in marine environments where he defined the widely used terms of heritage, transformation and neoformation. This underscores the interest and energy that he deployed throughout his scientific life in order to better understand clay mineral sedimentation in the ocean in the course of the earth's Get price

Environmental Characteristics of Clays and Clay Mineral

Hydration and dehydration can vary the thickness of a single clay particle by almost 100 percent (for example, a 10-thick clay mineral can expand to 19.5 in water (Velde, 1995). Houses, offices, schools, and factories built on soils containing swelling clays may be subject to structural damage caused by seasonal swelling of the clay portion of the soil. Get price

The mudstone/ shale units constituted 60% of the Kolosh Formation of 170 m thickness, which were studied and the clay minerals were identified to conclude the origin and paleoclimate. The studied area is located near the suture of Zagros Thrust Ophiolite Zone in NE Iraq. Kolosh mudstones contain chlorite, vermiculite, illite, nontronite, serpentine with varieties of mixed-layer clays. These Get price

Clay mineralogy and sedimentation in the western Indian

1976/10/1The clay mineralogy of 235 surface sediment samples from the western Indian Ocean reveals many sedimentary sources and processes: (1) some areas, mainly in the central Indian Ocean, where very little sediment transport is involved, have smectite-rich clays derived from the alteration of in situ submarine basalts.

Climatic and sea‐level control of Jurassic (Pliensbachian)

Sea‐level changes may have played a significant role in Pliensbachian clay mineral sedimentation. Periods of high sea‐level would have favoured a smectite‐rich sedimentation following the increasing distance of the shoreline, in contrast to low‐level periods being more favourable to the sedimentation of kaolinite by decreasing the distance from the shoreline.

Sedimentary Minerals

Such rocks are widespread in Wales, with vast thicknesses of sandstones, composed dominantly of quartz grains, and clay mineral-rich mudstones. Whereas the bulk of minerals making up clastic sedimentary rocks are common rock-forming species, such as quartz, feldspar and mica, both common and minor minerals in an eroding rock may end up in the resulting sediment.

Sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of small particles and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth's surface. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place. Get price
