| Abstract | ||
| his study carried out for the diagnosis of soils clay minerals prevailing in some areas of agricultural expansion within the western region of Iraq, and to identify the extent of heterogeneity and differences in the distribution of these clay minerals in the body of the soil Soils were morphological descriped then sampled from every different horizons of each pedon to estimation some physical, chemical and mineralogical properties, Soils were classified according to USA classification system(2010). The results showed that Palygorscite was a dominant clay mineral (61.1%), while illite was in the second grade at Al- Qaim and Rawa . Chlorite was identify in third grade at locations Ana site at the (Dayom alshamia) and Haditha site (Dayom alkhasfa) locations Ana, Haditha and Hite, While vermiculate identify as fourth grade with 55.6% from studied locations, the 33.0% of the locations showed exist of smectite at fifth grade and less exist was recorded for kaolinite mineral, also the stratified clay minerals were identified in all studied samples which was regular type arised right of 14.0Ao reflection and between 18-27 Ao, and unregular type which identified left 14.0Ao reflection, and mica- chlorite type at 11-13Ao. | ||
