The Cu and Li contents in the <2 µ m fractions of the Kohdachi kaolin samples are markedly higher than those at Tirschenreuth. From hydrogen isotopic analysis, the formation temperature of the Kohdachi kaolinite may be roughly estimated at 70–150°C. It is suggested that the Kohdachi deposit formed by hydrothermal alteration.
