Abstract: Abstract Berthierine and chamosite are iron-rich clay minerals that share similar chemical compositions. Berthierine forms at low temperature (25–45 °C) during early diagenesis and may transfer to chamosite at temperatures of ≥70 °C. Because the… read more here.

Abstract: The kaolinite-to-chlorite conversion is one of the chloritization processes that occurs in low temperature diagenetic and hydrothermal systems. The mechanism of this mineralogical transformation is still under discussion, since direct transformation, conversion via berthierine as… read more here.
