Abstract

Many serpentinite fragments are recognized in the welded tuff located at the Fujiwara and Sudagai area, Minakami, Gumma Prefecture. In the fragments, a chlorite/smectite interstratified mineral is detected by X-ray together with smectite, chlorite, talc, serpentine and other non-clay minerals. The structure of interstratified mineral is almost regular, and chemically Mg is abundant. The mineral seems to be formed from serpentine by increasing temperature with chemical changes. The mechanism of the formation is not certain in this study, but smectite is formed in the early stage of the alteration by adding silica and increasing temperature.
