Abstract

X-ray diffraction, electron microprobe and STEM EDAX analyses of basalts from the South Pennines (Derbyshire) indicate that Fe-rich smectites are the dominant alteration products, occurring either as pseudomorphs or infilling veins and vesicles. Previously chlorite has been identified as the common alteration product but its occurrence is very infrequent.
