SYNGENETIC ALTERATION OF ANDESITE VOLCANOCLASTIC ROCKS OF THE NERESNICA FORMATION IN AN AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT (JAVORIE, WESTERN CARPATHIANS)
Abstract
Alteration of glassy andesite rocks was studied by detailed lithological and textural analyses in Neresnica Formation near Zvolen. Products of this alteration were investigated by X-ray diffraction, IR-spectroscopy, TEM and chemical analyses. Lithological and textural phenomena indicate syngenetic alteration in aquatic environment producing mixture of halloysite, mixed layer illite/smectite, kaolinite (halloysite)/smectite and amorphous iron.
