CONT

On [...] nomme [les phyllites à 7A) berthiérines en langue française ou chamosites en anglais. Elles appartiennent à la série kaolinite-serpentine; le nombre d'atomes présents dans les trois positions octaédriques est plus voisin de 3 que de 2, on peut donc parler d'isotype de la serpentine, [...]. Ces berthiérines se trouvent dans les minerais de fer d'âge secondaire.
