TEM images of ultrathin sections of synthesized sauconite with 1.0 M succinate at pH0 9.0 after 20 h at 90 °C. (A) Overview of the area in the section containing aggregates of sauconite crystals. (B) Close-up of an aggregate of sauconite in the center of (A) showing the disorganized arrangement of individual 2:1 layer silicates with the occasional short-range stack of coherent layers.
