Is it possible to add a section to Xray diffraction methods on clay minerals? I am still doing research on it and couldn't help.

Hi fellow clay people. I've added a bit on the smectite (hydrous phyllosilicate) nontronite.
Given the level of technical knowledge you have regarding the various compositions of clay, I'd greatly appreciate some discussion on the creation of tile from clay, topsoil, sand, and water and how this mixture, after drying and high temperature wood firing (+/-2,000 degrees F), becomes hardened tile.

The statement: "Clays have structures similar to the micas and therefore form flat hexagonal sheets." does not make sense. The statement should say that it is because clay minerals "form flat hexagonal sheets" that they are similar to micas.

Klein and Dutrow (23rd edition of the manual of Mineral Science) state that the unit of the clay minerals is Si2O5, not what is stated in the article. —Preceding

Clay minerals are called "argilominerais" in Portuguese. The Portuguese page is not linked to any other equivalent article in different languages, as you can see here. If anybody knows how to link this page with the others under the languages menu, I'd appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.134.231.245 ( talk) 17:42, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
"have been useful to humans since ancient times in agriculture " - does this actually mean anything? human use of basicly all soils (depending on what is available locally) is well known and hardly specific to clay. 80.99.38.199 ( talk) 18:42, 17 September 2017 (UTC).
Is this not the same as clay? I see no difference here. They both even have the same sub-headings. Senomo Drines ( talk) 20:30, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
