Περίληψη | The Lower Pleistocene bentonite deposits of Eastern Milos, Greece have been formed at the
expense of volcaniclastic rocks under submarine conditions. Systematic variation of the major chemical
elements reveals that the deposits were formed from different precursors which were erupted from different
volcanic centers belonging to at least two separate volcanic provinces. The volcanic eruptions were
probably subaqueous. The major authigenic phases are smectite, K-feldspar, opal-CT and the zeolites
mordenite and clinoptilolite. The deposits have a complex history and have been affected by hydrothermal
alteration.
The geological features ofbentonites coupled by the presence of abundant authigenic K-feldspar indicate
that alteration of the parent volcanoclastic rocks took place under low temperatures and is probably not
related to hydrothermal alteration, which is a separate event. Hydrothermal alteration has modified both
the mineralogical characteristics and the properties of bentonites. Alteration of the parent rocks to bentonites
was favoured by high water : wall rock ratios and fluid flow and is associated with leaching and
subsequent removal of Na, K and Ca. The source of Mg was the parent rocks and only small scale Mguptake
from the sea water has probably taken place. The formation of authigenic K-feldspar has probably
been favoured by a high K§ + activity ratio and high Si activity of the pore fluid. Such conditions
might have been favoured by the pH conditions and the cooling history of the parent rocks. | en |
