If mud is dirt plus water, what is clay?
Fine-grained aluminum sheet silicates commonly derived from degradation of organic materials or hydrolysis of feldspars and having a crystal structure capable of holding water. Clay layers are usually impermeable and make good seals for aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs, and black shales derived from organic-rich clays can serve as hydrocarbon source rocks. Also, raw material for art.
