Scientific paper

Observations of new types of layer silicates in the crystalline regions of the matrix of a carbonaceous chondrite are reported. Ion-thinned sections of the Murchison meteorite were observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Images obtained of patterns of fringe spacings of 4.9 and 7.3 A are interpreted as resulting from ordered and disordered sequences of brucite-like and serpentine-like layers, respectively. The temperature and pressure conditions of phyllosilicate formation in the Murchison matrix are discussed in light of the suggested crysotile serpentine and brucite layers and evidence of Fe and Al in the layered intergrowths.
