Resumen de la comunicación presentada en 2010 SEA-CCJ-CMS Trilateral Meeting on Clays (Sevilla, España, 8-10 junio 2010) Three samples of submarine metalliferous sediments of hydrothermal origin, collected in the British HMS Challenger expedition (1872-1876), were studied to investigate the formation of smectite in such sediments. They were collected from the vicinity of the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge and the Chile Ridge. The samples were analyzed by means of XRD, chemical analysis, SEM-EDX, IR and TEM-AEM. Financial support was supplied by the “Synthesys” program of the European Community and Research Project no. CGL2007-66744-C02-01/BTE of the Spanish MICINN. Peer reviewed
