Characterization and origin of late Devonian illitic clay deposits southwestern Iran

Illitic clay deposits of Esteghlal Mine that represent the largest refractory clay deposit in Iran were subjected to petrographical, mineralogical and geochemical investigations to examine their origin. Geological investigation showed that the illitic clay deposits of Esteghlal Mine intercalated wit...
