Poorly characterized phases (PCP's) may constitute up to 30 volume percent of some C2M carbonaceous chondrite matrices [1] and are an important key to an understanding of matrix evolution. PCPs are usually fine-grained (

Structure and chemistry of poorly characterized phases (PCP). We suggest here that approximately 10 angstrom PCP, a dominant matrix variety, has a structure equivalent to iron-rich tochilinite [6Fe (sub 0.9) S 5(Fe, Mg) (OH) (sub 2) ] which consists of coherently interstratified mackinawite and brucite sheets. approximately 17 angstrom PCP, previously described as an SBB-type mixed-layer structure, is a commensurate intergrowth of serpentine and tochilinite layers. A wide range of cation substitutions is possible within both tochilinite and serpentine-tochilinite structural types. Various forms of PCP observed in carbonaceous chondrites are intergrowths of tochilinite, serpentine, serpentine-tochilinite and/or valleriite-type minerals.--Modified journal abstract.
