Summary

Clinoptilolite-heulandite is reported from Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Palaeocene sediments in south-east England. It occurs mainly in 1–20 μm size fractions, and is associated with abundant montmorillonite and often also with glauconite and amorphous silica or low-temperature disordered cristobalite-tridymite. Its mode of occurrence and the associated minerals suggest an authigenic origin, but there is no evidence that the source material was volcanic.
