It takes its name from glauconite that, along with its depth, gives its water a blue-green tint.
12.
Glauconite is an iron and potassium rich mineral and the solid phase reactions can produce the iron and potassium rich dye Prussian Blue.
13.
Other important reactions include the formation of chlorite, glauconite, illite and iron oxide ( if oxygenated pore water is present ).
14.
Glauconite can constitute a large percentage of the reservoir rock, and therefore the associated intra-particular pore space can be significant.
15.
These grains are called " glauconies " and consist of a mixture of mixed-layer clay minerals, such as smectite and glauconite mica.
16.
Gault often contains numerous phosphatic nodules, some thought to be coprolites, and may also contain sand as well as small grains of the mineral glauconite.
17.
The bright Chlorite-glauconite bearing sands are typically green in color, as are sands derived from basaltic ( lava ) with a high olivine content.
18.
This geologic formation contains carbonates above a layer of water-impermeable glauconite, which keeps the soil above from draining, leaving the area quite moist.
19.
In later essays and papers he dealt with the structure and mineral composition of many phosphatic and glauconite deposits on the bed of the ocean ( Geikie ).
20.
Greensands are green because of iron-bearing glauconite which is usually recognized as illite / mica or mixed layer illite-smectite clay by x-ray diffraction.
