Extract

This paper reports a statistical study of clay rocks both according to their geological character and their petrographic characteristics. The study was concerned almost entirely with rocks and not with present-day sediments. Further, typical sedimentary environments have been chosen: marine lagunar (saline and supersaline) and lacustrine. Deposits from river estuaries and moraines have not been considered, their conditions of genesis being more difficult to determine.
