Abstract

Iron-rich dioctahedral 2:1 clays were sampled in metalliferous sediments from Atlantis II Deep (Red Sea), and studied by XRD, TEM, FTIR and Mössbauer spectroscopy. One sample with the structural formula (Si3·94Fe3+0·06)(Fe3+1·90Mg0·10)K0·1(Mg, Ca)0·03 is closer to the theoretical end-member ferripyrophyllite Si4Fe3+2O10(OH)2 than any other Fe-rich clay previously described. Other samples appear as mixed-layered clays: ferripyrophyllite-hydroferripyrophyllite or hydroferripyrophyllite-celadonite.
