Parageneses and compositions of phyllosilicates strongly depend upon available chemical components from precursor minerals or fluids. The alteration of other phases such as plagioclase and titanomagnetite provides components for formation of phyllosilicates. The degree of alteration in the basalts is mainly controlled by fluid/rock ratios, which in turn are determined by rock permeability.
