- Abstract
The article presents information on a study which suggests that nontronite genesis depends upon the iron oxidizing sheath-forming bacteria. It mentions that nontronite formed by the weathering of basaltic glass, iddingsite and palagonite in the presence poor drainage conditions. It reflects that nontronite mostly found as amygdales in Deccan basalts, and its spheroid shape with well-crystallized dioctahedral sheets is obtained by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
