Kolsuz-Ulukisla-Nigde Clays, Central Anatolian Region - Turkey and Petroleum Exploration

TL;DR: Clays are naturally occurring, fine-grained minerals under surface conditions mostly as alteration products with distinct crystal structures as mentioned in this paper and they may show plastic behavior when mixed with sufficient water and become stiff when dried or cooked.

Methodological proposal for rammed-earth wall characterization: Understanding of material in preliminary studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a series of analyses and tests to be carried out in historical studies for wall characterization, which can be classified into five groups based on wall properties: chemical and mineralogical composition, physical and hydric properties, mechanical properties, granulometry, and dating.

Clay Mineralogy and Origin of the Huntingdon Fire Clays on Canadian Sumas Mountain, South British Columbia

TL;DR: In this article, the Eocene fire clay seams are separated from each other and overlain by coal partings in Canadian Sumas Mountain, southwest British Columbia, and they are shown to be composed of small domains of fine-grained, interlocking kaolinite flakes in face-to-face contact.

Crystal chemical analysis of natural clay material of different genesis

TL;DR: In this article, the results reveal differences both in the composition, structure, properties, morphology and IR spectroscopic characteristics of nontronites of different origin of natural clay material.
