1 Characterisation of the ABM samples

2 Sample set

3 Macroscopic optical observations Gradual color change from heater (e.g. JNB)

4 Macroscopic optical observations Color change only at interface (e.g. ROK)

5 Macroscopic optical observations Color change near interface + brittle appearance (e.g. FEB)

6 Macroscopic optical observations White spots (e.g. IBE) turned out to be anhydrite

7 Macroscopic optical observations No (significant) optical changes (e.g. ASH)

8 Macroscopic optical observations (+ samples) JNB ABM CAN ABM ROK ABM CAL ABM COB ABM Kunigel V1 Deponit Ca N "RAWRA" Calcigel Callovo Oxf.

Ionenstrom Siderite Quarz No separate Fe-silicate-phases found by XRD (no 7 Å), IR, DTA No indication for Fe-cation exchange (but cannot be excluded) Sample JNB (#17): siderite 1.E-09 1.E-09 DTA-MS (CO 2 ) 470 C siderite JNB 0 JNB 1 JNB 2 JNB 3 JNB 4 1.E-09 8.E-10 6.E-10 JNB 1 mm 4.E-10 2.E wavenumber [cm -1 ] E T [K]

12 where is the Fe??? - SEM Example: CAL (6 8 wt.% Fe 2 O 3 ) Possibly the reason for the color: small Feoxohyd.??? Image width 50 µm

24 SUMMARY of mineralogical changes Fe-accumulation (caused by corrosion, color (oxohydroxides), Fe-carbonates!) Organic carbon accumulation (microorganisms?) S-redistribution /accumulation (diss/prec. processes!) Cristobalite dissolution (ph?, bulk/local/time dependent?) Trioctahedral domains (diss./precip. / addition reaction )
