It is useful in scouring and cleansing clovh, as it absorbs the grease and oil used in preparing wool. It consists of some 60 per cent of silica with alumina and water, and the usual impurities of clays. Its properties are probably due to physical texture. There are extensive beds of this earth in southern English counties, and the name has been given to a stage in the Middle Jura ic series.
