a clay type marked by high iron content. Usually not water sensitive and only slowly acid soluble. Very occasionally existing as fragile, free standing rims following sand grain dissolution over geologic time.

n: I. a term used for particles smaller than \1156 millimetre (4 microns) in size, regardless of mineral composition. 2. a group of hydrous aluminum silicate minerals (clay minerals). 3. a sediment of fine clastics.

n: (1) A soft, variously colored earth, commonly hydrous silicates of alumina, formed by the decomposition of feldspar and other aluminum silicates. Clay minerals are essentially insoluble in water but disperse under hydration, grinding, or velocity effects.

a fine grain (<0.00015” or about 4 microns) – finely crystalline silica sheet minerals. Usually of silicate composition. In oil field terms, the most common clays are Smectite (montmorillinite),illite, kaolinite and chlorite. The characteristic for autho
