Back-reacted saponite in Jurassic mudstones and limestones intruded by a Tertiary sill, Isle of Skye [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Lón Ostatoin stream section, Trotternish Peninsula, Isle of Skye, exposes a sequence of Middle Jurassic mudstones and limestones which have been locally metasomatized by a transgressive sill of Tertiary age. Limestones in the sequence, including some

A Two-Step K-Ar Experiment on Mars: Dating the Diagenetic Formation of Jarosite from Amazonian Groundwaters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Following K-Ar dating of a mudstone and a sandstone, a third sample has been dated by the Curiosity rover exploring Gale Crater. The Mojave 2 mudstone, which contains relatively abundant jarosite, yielded a young K-Ar bulk age of 2.57 ± 0.39 Ga (1σ ...

Characterization of phyllosilicates observed in the central Mawrth Vallis region, Mars, their potential formational processes, and implications for past climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Mawrth Vallis contains one of the largest exposures of phyllosilicates on Mars. Nontronite, montmorillonite, kaolinite, and hydrated silica have been identified throughout the region using data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for ...

Apatite in Bennu samples indicates multiple stages of aqueous alteration

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Calcium phosphates are ubiquitous in planetary materials, including samples returned from asteroid Bennu by the OSIRIS‐REx mission. We characterized apatite [Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH)] grains in Bennu samples by scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, and transmission electron microscopy to investigate their compositions, mineral ...

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

The origin and implications of clay minerals from Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover Curiosity has documented a section of fluvio-lacustrine strata at Yellowknife Bay (YKB), an embayment on the floor of Gale crater, approximately 500 m east of the Bradbury landing site. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data

Clay Reimagined: Phyllosilicates as Future Membrane Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 3, 3 February 2026.
Recent advancements in membrane technologies based on 2D materials have drawn attention for molecular‐scale separations owing to these materials’ tunable nanoscale interlayer properties. Phyllosilicates, natural and abundant layered clay minerals, have emerged as scalable and cost‐effective candidates.

Gels as battery separators for soluble electrode cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
Gels are formed from silica powders and hydrochloric acid. The gels are then impregnated into a polymeric foam and the resultant sheet material is then used in applications where the transport of chloride ions is desired.
