Radiolarian cherts from two localities in North-western Italy have been studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence analysis. The quality of preservation of the radiolarians decreased from dark red to pale cherts. The effect of diagenetic processes (solution, reprecipitation and recrystallization) was least in red cherts where contained hematitic and clay material inhibited the movement of pore solutions, and greatest in the pale cherts…

The origin and diagenesis of cherts from Cyprus
The Troodos Massif of Cyprus is overlain by a variety of cherts in pelagic chalks, volcanogenic sediments, radiolarites and radiolarian mudstones, all of Campanian to Upper Eocene age. There…
Thermal Alteration of Chert in the Ophiolite Basement of Southern Central America
Radiolarian chert and volcaniclastic-rich siliceous rocks of the Nicoya Complex were studied by optical mineralogy, X-ray diffractometry, and SEM. Various phenomena of thermal alteration occur due to…
Triassic bedded cherts in central Japan are not pelagic
Although the origin of bedded radiolarian cherts in orogenic belts has been widely debated1–15, their geochemistry is still poorly understood. Triassic bedded radiolarian cherts occur extensively in…

TLDR
