Abstract

Certain of the criteria used for distinguishing vermiculites in clays from smectites are critically examined, and attention is drawn to the urgent need for further research in this field. Difficulties inherent in the differentiation are heightened by the common occurrence of interlayer contamination in the naturally occurring minerals.
