Zhaocun bentonite deposit oringnated from tuff rich in volcanic hyalocrystalline,which underwent hydrolysis and alteration in Changxing county,Zhejiang province.The deposit has middle scale.
They can be divided into low sulphidation and high sulphidation types,with typical wall rock altera tion and alteration zonation of epit hermal de-posit.
Research shows that the dawsonite in Hailaer Basin exists in both the eroded volcano tuff and sedimentary volcano tuff,and is paragenous with corrensite and allevardite frequently.
Acidic gases and heat escaping from magma can corrode rock through a process called hydrothermal alteration, gradually turning hard stone into soft clay.
