Title information
These notes provide a general introduction of clays for the uninitiated, plus a review of traditional and more recent concepts for those who already know something about clays. The concept of fundamental illite particles and the phenomen of interparticle diffraction, relatively new concepts that are reshaping the manner of visualizing mixed-layer clays, are discussed in some detail. A discussion of shaly-sand log analysis, from a clay mineralogy perspective, is included. Isotope geology is discussed because of its potential for permitting a better understanding of temperatures and timing of diagenesis.
