Phyllosilicate alteration minerals are commonly found in low petrologic types of carbonaceous chondrites. Previous spectral studies have examined Mg-bearing phyllosilicates with limited success in matching the spectral properties of CM and CI chondrites. TEM and other analytical techniques suggest that Fe-bearing clays are more abundant in CI's and CM's than magnesian varieties. Here we present the results of an examination of the reflectance spectra of Fe-phyllosilicates, including serpentines and berthierines, the latter which were formerly known as septechlorites. We have measured the diffuse reflectance spectra of powdered samples from 0.3 to 25 (m. We find these minerals provide a better spectral match to many of the features seen in CI and CM chondrites and simple linear combinations of the spectra of both Fe- and Mg-phyllosilicates closely approximates the spectra of CM and CI chondrites.
