Abstract

Mineralogical properties (XRD, DTG) and chemical compositions of some chlorite-smectite interlayer minerals in alteration products of ophiolitic rocks from the Northern Apennines are presented and discussed. The presence of iron hydroxides and the continuous variation in Al2O3 content suggest that the corrensites are intermediate stages in the process of alteration of chlorite to smectite in an environment characterized by high element mobility. A thermal test to characterize the swelling component of the interlayer species is proposed.
