MAIN ABSORPTION BANDS<br />

• The absorption bands identified so far are mostly due to clay minerals,<br />

and organic features:<br />

– Clay minerals in chondrites exhibit distinctive absorption peaks than those<br />

shown in terrestrial clays as also was found by Beck et al. (2010)<br />

Mineral (cm-1) (m) Notes<br />

OH stretching hydroxyl groups 3450 2.9 Mostly all groups<br />

(Montmorillonite,<br />

smectite, etc...)<br />

CC double bond stretch 1650 6.1 Organics, CMs<br />

CH 2 & CH 3 bend bands 1450 & 1400 6.9 & 7.1 Organics, CMs<br />

N-C libration band 1064 9.4 CO, CV<br />

Al/Si-OH libration bands 930-950 10.8-10.5 Variable location<br />

Al-O and Si-O, out <strong>of</strong> plane ~610 16.4 Variable location, CMs
