Abstract

The main reason for the initial determinations of illite crystallinity (IC) was to support the exploration for liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. The application in 1960 of the Weaver Sharpness Ratio to core materials of a borehole from eastern France indicated that it was not a reliable tool for identifying well-crystallized illite. This ratio was later replaced by the Full Width at Half-Maximum (FWHM), the value of which decreases regularly and consistently towards greenschist facies. The use of FWHM allowed a precise definition of the anchimetamorphic zone between the upper diagenesis and the epimetamorphism. Afterwards, analysis of weak-tointermediate diagenetic sequences showed that illite crystallinity decreases together with the amount of swelling interlayers in mixed-layer clay minerals. Technological improvements, such as computing and modelling of X-ray diffraction patterns, increased the analytical precision relative to measurements of the plain FWHM. Consequently, illite crystallinity went back to its initial use, namely detection of the transitions between diagenesis, anchi- and epi-metamorphism in smectitefree lithologies, where it can be used as a stratigraphic and mineralogic marker of alteration stages.
