A sedimentological oxymoron: highly evolved glauconite of earliest diagenetic origin by Tribovillard, Nicolas, Bout-Roumazeilles, Viviane, Guillot, François, Baudin, François, Deconinck, Jean-François, Abraham, Romain, Ventalon, Sandra

“…Yet, the chemical composition of grains (Fe and K) typifies glauconite as highly evolved, meaning that its formation must have lasted over times, according to conventional views. Consequently, our results challenge these conventional views and confirm that glauconite can form in relatively shallow environments (which has been already brought to light previously) and it is concluded that early diagenetic glauconite can be markedly enriched in both K and Fe, which is an unprecedented result.…”
