Band ratio: (B6+B9/(B7+B8) Blue is low content, Red is high content (potentially includes: calcite, dolomite, magnesite, chlorite, epidote, amphibole, talc, serpentine) Useful for mapping: (1) "hydrated" ferromagnesian rocks rich in OH-bearing tri-octahedral silicates like actinolite, serpentine, chlorite and talc; (2) carbonate-rich rocks, including shelf (palaeo-reef) and valley carbonates(calcretes, dolocretes and magnecretes); and (3) lithology-overprinting hydrothermal alteration, e.g. "propyllitic alteration" comprising chlorite, amphibole and carbonate. The nature (composition) of the silicate or carbonate mineral can be further assessed using the MgOH composition product.
