Abstract

Two different types of interstratified illite-smectite are found in a section of Paleozoic sediments in the Negev, Israel. One of these is detectable only by a decrease in peak width and a concomitant increase in symmetry of the 10 Å peak on glycolation. This material is regarded as illite, randomly interstratified with about 20 per cent expanding layers.
