The aim of this work is to evaluate the origin of smectites in sediments of CRP-3 core (Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica), through TEM observations and microanalyses on smectite microparticles and XRD analyses of clay fractions. Smectites in the lower sedimentary section (between 602.05 and 815.86 mb...
