Abstract
CLAY mineralogical analyses have been important in sedimentology, in studies of the genesis and behaviour of soils and in ceramics. The effect of high temperatures on clay minerals has also often been reported1–8. The work reported here concerns the importance of X-ray analysis of clay minerals in studies of contact metamorphism.
