Abstrakt

The mineral composition of altered volcanic ash beds, bentonites, deposited in marine environments is typically characterized by smectite or illite–smectite type clay minerals. Silurian bentonites from an unmetamorphosed normal marine sedimentary sequence in the eastern Baltic Palaeobasin, however, show a complex and varied mineral composition with illite–smectite, K-feldspar and kaolinite as the dominant authigenic phases. The whole-rock XRD study of 52 bentonite beds from two drill-cores — Ruhnu and Ohesaare, southwestern Estonia, reveals a range of compositions varying between different beds as well as laterally within a single bed. The observed variations are found to reflect the bentonite development and diversification during initial stages of volcanic ash transformation and diagenesis that was probably overprinted by a later K-metasomatic event.
