Clay minerals in Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments at DSDP Leg 62 Holes
The main tasks of this study were (1) identification of minerals of the clay fraction, (2) identification of clay-mineral associations in relation to stratigraphic intervals, and (3) elucidation of genetic relations of clay minerals with types of sediments and factors of sedimentation. Identification of clay minerals was carried out mainly with an X-ray diffractometer (DRON-I). X-ray diffractograms were prepared by means of CuKalpha radiation, at 35 kW and a current of 20 ma. The scanning rate was 2°/min. Oriented specimens were prepared for the <1-µm fraction (and partly for the <10-µm fraction because of insufficient core material) in three states: air-dried, saturated with glycerine, and heated at 550°C

The monograph gives results of studies of sediments and rocks collected from D/S Glomar Challenger in the Pacific Ocean. These studies have been based on the lithological facial analysis applied for the first time for identificating genesis of ocean sediments. These results include new ideas on formation of the Earth's sedimentary cover and can be used for constructing regional and global schemes of ocean paleogeography, reconstructing some structures, correlating sedimentation on continents and in oceans, estimating perspectives of oil- and gas-bearing deposits and ore formation. The monograph also gives the first petrographic classification of organic matter in black shales
