Clay minerals and elemental composition of smectites in the marine sediment from the southwest Ross Sea and implication for their provenance and sediment input changes after the last glacial period

Abstract Smectite in detrital sediments can be composed of various proportions of Al, Mg, and Fe, indicating the sediment sources derived from the bedrock or from the sedimentary strata. Comparing the elemental composition of smectites can help to define sediment provenance in relation to paleo-envi...
