Abstract

Motukoreaite and quintinite-3T, Mg-Al layered double hydroxides, were found in the Sinyangri Formation of Jeju Island. They fill the pores of basaltic volcaniclastic sediments in globular and botryoidal aggregates of fine platy particles. Globular aggregates of quintinite-3T were crusted with the parallel overgrowth of motukoreaite plates. X-ray diffraction data and chemical composition are consistent with those reported in literature, while the Mg/Al ratio of motukoreaite is higher. Structural formula of motukoreaite and quintinite-3T derived from electron microprobe analysis are $Na_{1.6}Ca_{0.1}Mg_{40.7}Al_{20.7}Si_{0.9}(CO_3)_{13.6}(SO_4)_{7.4}(OH)_{108}56H_2O$, and $Mg_{3.7}Al_{1.9}Si_{0.2}(OH)_{12}(CO_3)_{0.8}(SO_4)_{0.2}3H_2O$, respectively. Motukoreaite and quintinite-3T were formed by reaction between seawater and basaltic glass, and contributed to the cementation and lithification of the volcaniclastic sediments.

제주도의 화산쇄설성 퇴적암인 신양리층에서 산출되는 motukoreaite와 quintinite-3T를 보고한다. 두 광물은 Mg-Al 층상복수산화물로서 현무암 유리질 입자 사이를 충전하는 극미립판상 입자들의 구상 또는 포도상 집합체로 산출된다. Quintinite-3T의 집합체 외각에 motukoreaite의 판상 입자들이 과성장하여 피복하였다. 두 광물의 X선회절자료와 화학조성은 대체로 문헌에 보고된 값들과 유사하지만, motukoreaite의 Mg/Al 비는 보고된 값보다 조금 크다. 전자현미화학 분석 값으로부터 구한 motukoreaite와 quintinite-3T의 구조식은 각각 $Na_{1.6}Ca_{0.1}Mg_{40.7}Al_{20.7}Si_{0.9}(CO_3)_{13.6}(SO_4)_{7.4}(OH)_{108}56H_2O$와 $Mg_{3.7}Al_{1.9}Si_{0.2}(OH)_{12}(CO_3)_{0.8}(SO_4)_{0.2}3H_2O$이다. 두 광물은 얕은 바다에 퇴적된 현무암 유리질 입자들이 해수와 반응하여 생성 되었으며, 해저 환경에서 화산쇄설성 퇴적물의 교결 및 고화작용에 기여하였다.
