The clay fractionof Ihis sediments consist largely of smectite (saponite) with minor irregular chlorile-smectite mixed layersand illite: they occur as replacement of ferromagnesian minerals, plagioclase microlites and glass matrix ofthe volcarenite and they are inferred to be direct diagenetic alteratíon products of volcanic components. %~
