Glauconite mineral is one of the most sensitive indicators of low sedimentation rate in the marine environment. The time of residence of glauconites at the sea bottom before burial is reflected by their so-called maturity that is differentiated based on their K2O content. The present work aims to investigate the evolution of glauconites during the transition toward the highly evolved level. Complementary electron microprobe, Raman, and Thermogravimetric analysis were performed on glauconitic grains from the Belluno basin (N Italy) with different K2O content in order to verify whether the level of glauconites evolution affects the results of these surveys.

Abstract
Glauconite mineral is one of the most sensitive indicators of low sedimentation rate in the marine environment. The time of residence of glauconites at the sea bottom before burial is reflected by their so-called maturity that is differentiated based on their K2O content. The present work aims to investigate the evolution of glauconites during the transition toward the highly evolved level. Complementary electron microprobe, Raman, and Thermogravimetric analysis were performed on glauconitic grains from the Belluno basin (N Italy) with different K2O content in order to verify whether the level of glauconites evolution affects the results of these surveys.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
