In a study of Recent deep-sea sediments from the Atlantic, Antarctic and western Indian Oceans, kaolinite and chlorite have been routinely differentiated by resolving, respectively, their second and fourth order basal r-ray diffraction peaks at 3.5 A. This distinction has been confirmed in these sediments by the relative intensities of all the low-order kaolinite and chlorite basal reflections, their d spacings, their reaction to hot HCI treatment and to potassium acetate and ammonium nitrate intersaltation treatments. The method is simple, involves only minor changes in r-ray diffraction conditions and requires no chemical or thermal treatment of the sample. However, resolution of the 3.5 A peaks should be used in conjunction with the usual diffraction scan in order to detect other minerals or chlorites of difierent chemical comoositions which mav contribute other oeaks in the 3.5 A region and ohscure or preclude kaolinite-chlorite distinciion by this method.
