Au grandes profondeurs on rencontre : L'argile rouge des grands fonds, sédiment de couleur rouge brun, composé de minéraux de l'argile (85 %); de granules cosmiques, de poussières volcaniques et de micro-nodules. Contrairement à ce qui est généralement admis, Hoffert a montré que l'essentiel de l'argile rouge des grands fonds est non pas détritique mais constitué de minéraux néoformés : smectites ferrifères, phillipsite, oxydes et hydroxydes de fer et de manganèse. 3, record 1, French, - boue%20rouge%20des%20grands%20fonds
