Extract
Kogure and co-workers have published several papers reporting the stacking structures of various 2:1 layer phyllosilicates (e.g. aspidolite, Kogure et al. (2004); wonesite, Kogure et al. (2005); pyrophyllite, Kogure et al. (2006)), mainly by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). However, there is ambiguity in wording that refers to the lateral displacement between two tetrahedral sheets across the interlayer regions. Zvyagin et al. (1969) used the symbol “τ” for this displacement, which describes the structures of pyrophyllite and talc, but no universally accepted wording was used for other 2:1 phyllosilicates or 1:1 phyllosilicates.
