ARGILE SEDIMENTAIRE TRANSFORMEE [1 record]

Record 1 1977-10-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geology
  • Chemical Engineering
OBS

The clays transformed to sedimentary basins (...) obviously can be subjected to sorting of various kinds, and also to physico-chemical modifications. The latter are more difficult to demonstrate. These modifications, often tenuous but important from a geochemical point of view, will be called here "transformation" (...). These are physico-chemical transformations of inherited material; we shall speak of "clays transformed during sedimentation".

OBS

Les argiles menées aux bassins de sédimentation (...) peuvent être l'objet de divers triages, ce qui est évident mais aussi de modifications physico-chimiques, ce qui est plus difficile à démontrer. Ces modifications, souvent ténues, mais importantes au point de vue géochimique, seront appelées ici les transformations (...). Il s'agit de transformations physico-chimiques d'un matériel hérité: nous parlerons "d'argiles transformées au cours de la sédimentation".
