These phyllosilicates display very fine grain sizes, disordered crystal structures, and greatly varying chemical compositions, and they represent structurally and chemically metasable phases. They are subjected to heat during diagenesis and concomitant metamorphism, which provides a long-life source of energy for transforming the metastable phases into thermodynamically more stable phases through a long series of partly continuous, partly discontinuous reactions. The present review summarizes some major mineralogical aspects of these processes, with special reference to petrogenetic applications....
