Abstract
The presence and character of a Paleocene and two Upper Cretaceous volcanic ash deposits in North Dakota validates other workers' suggestions that natural glasses are stable for long periods of geologic time. Except for superhydration, glass grains from each deposit are commonly unaltered. Grains which have altered to montmorillonite follow the same pattern of chemical change commonly reported for the origin of bentonites.
