This review article focuses on sepiolite fibrous clay mineral, which has been selected here
as an example of an ancient inorganic natural material that is currently receiving much …

The recognition of past habitable environments on Mars has increased the urgency to
understand biosignature preservation in and characterize analogues of these environments …

Observations from orbital spacecraft have shown that Jezero crater on Mars contains a
prominent fan-shaped body of sedimentary rock deposited at its western margin. The …

The fibrous morphology, the small particle size, and the presence of tunnels and channels in
their structure give sepiolite (Sep) and palygorskite (Pal) a large specific surface area (SSA) …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes genesis of clay minerals. Deposits of industrial
clays may have complex origins. One deposit is not like another of the same material, but …

Many studies of the chemical composition of sepiolite and palygorskite have been carried
out using analytical electron microscopy (AEM). According to the literature, a compositional …

Sedimentary rocks contain a unique record of the evolution of the Earth system. Deciphering
this record requires a robust understanding of the identity, origin, composition, and post …

The most important sepiolite and palygorskite deposits and occurrences were formed in
continental environments by authigenesis, through direct precipitation from solution …

As promising eco-friendly materials, natural silicates have received great attention as
abundant, low-cost, non-toxic, stable, and environmentally benign adsorbents. Inspired by …

This study focuses on the evaluation of the potential use of the clay-rich raw materials in
Denizli region to manufacture traditional ceramic products with industrial processing and …
