✦ Synopsis

~inerals consisting of a highly random interstratifieasion of montmorillonite and montmorillonite interlayered with silicie acid-Al(OH)3 polymers were found to occur in the separate of the surface of a solontchak-like solonetz soil in southern Bulgaria.

The minerals were formed by interlayering of the above components in the original montmorillonite parent material because of the alkaline conditions promoting strong destruction and the intermittent extremely dry and wet periods prevailing in that region.
