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
