Iron-rich Smectite Formation in Subseafloor Basaltic Lava in Aged Oceanic Crust

Basalt weathering in oceanic crust controls long-term elemental cycling on Earth. It is unknown whether basalt weathering tends to continue in unsedimented oceanic crust with formation ages of >10–20 million years (Ma), when fluid circulation is restricted by the formation of secondary minerals i...
