Definition in Clay Mineralogy (Bailey, 1980)
Clay minerals belongs to the family of phyllosilicates and contain continuous two-demensional tetrahedral sheets of composition T2O5 (T=Si, Al, Be etc.) with tetrahedral linked by sharing three corners
tetrahedral sheets are linked in the unit structure to
cations
