Paired with the fact this size of particle was deposited within a marine system involving the erosion and transportation of the clay into the ocean.
This is also known as turbidity, in which floating soil particles create a murky brown color to a water solution.
The swapping of this positive cation with another is what makes different types of clays including Kaolinite, montmorillonite, smectite and illite.
They are known as blue goo which is a mix of clay and mélange (greenstone, basalt, chert, shale, sandstone, schists.
For these clays to be available for human use they must have been eroded, deposited on the ocean floor and then uplifted through means of tectonic activity to bring it to land.
[citation needed] Later on, they found marine clay mixed with seawater even in the deeper underground.
Marine clay can be densified by mixing it with cement or similar binding material in specific proportions.
