“…In sediment diagenesis, constituent minerals pass through several phases: e.g., smectite transforms to a mica (illite) through a smectite/mica mixed layered mineral (e.g., Velde et al 1986, Inoue 1991, Aoyagi and Shimoda 1991, and clinoptilolite, a zeolite, transform to albite through analcime (e.g., Boles 1971, Utada 1985, Iijima 1986, Sasaki 1991. Many workers have experimentally studied the illitization of smectite and the transformations of zeolite (e.g., Boles 1971, Eberl 1976, Eberl et al 1978, Colten 1986, Yau et al 1987, Whitney 1990, Yamada et al 1991, Chermak 1993.…”
