Popis: Mica-type phyllosilicate particles in the shales of the Manhang formation at the Taeback area in the Kangwon Province were studied using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average chemical formula of the mica-type phyllosilicate mineral analysed by EPMA is K1.35(Fe0.18Mg0.03Al3.86)(Si6.55Al1.45)O20(OH)4. Low K contents compared to the ideal chemistry of muscovite indicate the presence of illite in the mica-type phyllosilicate particle. X-ray diffraction study showed that pyrophyllite commonly coexists with muscovite in the shales from the Manhang Formation. TEM observations showed both the interlayer and intralayer mixing of 9.3-Å pyrophyllite and 10-Å muscovite layers. The low K content of the mica-type phyllosilicates apparently
