Abstract

Globular, platy, and fine-dispersed phyllosilicates of chloritic composition were studied in the outer contact of dike with glauconite-bearing rocks. It is shown that the globular Al-glauconite is replaced by pseudomorphs of mixed-layer Mg- and Fe-bearing chlorite–berthierine containing 5% berthierine layers in this zone. The crystallochemical characteristics and microstructure are reported for the globular, platy, and fine-dispersed chlorites. The possible models of chlorite–berthierine formation are discussed.
