This rock contained chalcedonic cement before it underwent diagenesis, a process where low temperatures and low pressures alter the content of sediments before they finally lithify, or turn into rock.

在它经历成作之前，它含有燧石质的胶结成分。成作中，低温抵压改变了沉物的成分，而后固结成。

Therefore, the albitization of plagioclase is shown in the early stage of diagenesis and albitization of potash feldspar appears only in the late stage of diagenesis.

，斜长石的钠长石化可见于成早期，而钾长石的钠长石化只发生于成晚期。

Burial diagenesis causes a progressive transformation of smectites, the end-products being dependent on PH and pore water chemistry.

埋藏成作可使蒙脱石进一步转化，最终产物决定于PH值及孔隙水的化学性质。
