What is New Insights on Sepiolite and Attapulgite about?

1. Hydrothermal experiments failed to synthesize attapulgite or sepiolite and instead yielded montmorillonite or saponite from 200°C, indicating these minerals are metastable and likely formed below these temperatures. 2. Dry heating of natural attapulgite and sepiolite showed no evidence of "zeolitic water" or anhydride phases. 3. Field observations suggest structural control may be important in the formation of attapulgite and sepiolite, as their presence in sedimentary rocks is often ambiguous and rel
