Determination of a normal orogenic palaeo-geothermal gradient with clay mineral and organic matter indices: a review by Rafael Ferreiro Mählmann, Meinert Rahn, Sébastien Potel, Lan Nguyen-Thanh, Rainer Petschick

“…The study illustrates that a normal geotherm can be described by VR/KI correlation, even if different heating episodes may occur. For the detection of a poly-phase or plurifacial thermal history, several indices of clay minerals and organic matter with very different kinetics should be used, as e.g. demonstrated by strong differences in smectite content at equal VR/KI values versus structural depth. …”
