Submarine hydrothermal mineralization processes and insular mineralization in the Hellenic Volcanic Arc system: A review
2020, Ore Geology ReviewsCitation Excerpt :It was supported that nontronite precipitates directly from hydrothermal fluids but other processes were proposed. Among those are the replacement of pelagic muds at the sediment water interface, precipitation from Fe and Mn-bearing minerals at the seawater – basalt zone (McMurtry and Yeh, 1981). However, Dill et al. (1994) argued that Mn in nontronites is low to be considered as indicative of the proximity to hydrothermal vents.
Transformation of boehmite into 2:1 type layered aluminosilicates with different layer charges under hydrothermal conditions
2019, Applied Clay ScienceCitation Excerpt :Meanwhile, an inverse conversion process, the transformation of gibbsite or bayerite into 2:1 type LA, was also achievable under hydrothermal condition (Granquist and Pollack, 1967; Granquist et al., 1972). Such formation mechanism for clay minerals was also found in nature (Mcmurtry and Yeh, 1981; Marumo and Hattori, 1999; Mas et al., 2006). This means that, when aluminum minerals encounter with silicon-rich geological fluids and undergo hydrothermal alteration, they can be transformed into clay minerals in geological processes, namely, ‘resilicification’ of aluminum minerals.

2018, Geochimica et Cosmochimica ActaReduction of structural Fe(III) in nontronite by thermophilic microbial consortia enriched from hot springs in Tengchong, Yunnan Province, China
2018, Chemical GeologyCitation Excerpt :In geothermal ecosystems, microbially mediated Fe reduction is an important process because of abundant Fe available in hydrothermal fluids (Pester et al., 2014; Wu et al., 2013), limited O2 solubility, and abundance of reduced gases (Kashefi et al., 2004; Vargas et al., 1998). High temperature fluids are effective in altering primary Fe-bearing silicates into secondary clay minerals, which usually develop into clay belts along fluid channels or around spring pools (McMurtry and Yeh, 1981; Zhu and Tong, 1987). These secondary clay minerals represent an important Fe(III) source for thermophiles in these ecosystems.
Electron microscopy investigation of the genetic link between Fe oxides/oxyhydroxides and nontronite in submarine hydrothermal fields
2018, Marine GeologyCitation Excerpt :Consequently, the substitution of these particles by nontronite would require a significant loss of Mn and sometimes of Mg and/or Al and thus these particles do not fit well within a path of gradual in situ replacement of FeO + FeOOH by nontronite. It is clear that in the East Pacific Rise sediments the Fe-Mn-Si-Mg-Al composition of the silicate and FeOOH particles is more heterogeneous than in the Atlantis II Deep, implying perhaps the presence of particles of basalt or sediments indicated by Singer et al. (1984) and McMurtry and Yeh (1981) (particles with Fe/Mg + Al < 1 and Si/Fe + Mn + Mg + Al < 0.7 in Fig. 5c) besides that of oxides with a range of Fe-Mn composition (Fig. 4). In our investigation, vermicular/globular habits exist in particles with a wide range of composition (Fig. 6), including Fe/Si ratios from 0.5 to 20, and thus consisting mainly of nontronite or FeO + FeOOH, respectively.
