Extract

The object of this study was to find a structural explanation for the corrosion figures produced in biotites having different chemical compositions and to apply this information to other di- or trioctahedral micas. The biotites investigated were used in earlier studies of epitaxial growth, so that previous knowledge of their surface behaviour was available. The biotites studied were from Evje, Norway (number 1), Guomum, Czechoslovakia (number 2), and Tanokami Yama, Japan (number 3). All were very dark in colour due to their high iron content.
