What is Diagenesis of Kaolin in Sandstones about?

This document reviews the diagenetic evolution of kaolin and illitic clay minerals in sandstones. It discusses the structural characterization of kaolin polytypes like kaolinite and dickite, possible reaction pathways leading to their crystallization, and the origin of fluids involved. While early kaolinite precipitation is generally related to meteoric water flushing, subsequent kaolinite-to-dickite transformation likely results from invasion by acidic fluids of organic origin. Dickite is the stable kaolin
