K-white mica b cell dimension: a complementary clay mineral tool to decipher a polyphasic basin evolution

Abstract

Since the pioneer work of Sassi (1972) on the K-white mica b cell dimension BCD), the method has been used to characterize the factor pressure in meta-pelitic rocks. This method is used as an estimate of different pressure facies. Studies in the last two decades reached in low-grade metapelitic rocks. Studies in the last two decades have been carried out in different basins and meta-sedimentary rocks with poly-phase evolutions
