Mud (probably from Middle Low German mudde, mod(de) 'thick mud', or Middle Dutch) [1] is loam, silt or clay mixed with water. It is usually formed after rainfall or near water sources. Ancient mud deposits hardened over geological time to form sedimentary rock such as shale or mudstone (generally called lutites ).
Mudbrick or mud-brick, also known as unfired brick, is an air-dried brick, made of a mixture of mud (containing loam, clay, sand and water) mixed with a binding material such as rice husks or straw. Mudbricks are known from 9000 BCE. From around 5000–4000 BCE, mudbricks evolved into fired bricks to increase strength
Games in the Minecraft franchise contain many different types of golems. In the main game, there are iron and snow golems. [75] [76] In Minecraft Dungeons, there is the Redstone Golem. In Minecraft Legends, there are Cobblestone Golems, Plank Golems, Mossy Golems, and Grindstone Golems. [77] Golem is the name of a Pokémon whose body is made of ...
One common requirement is that a mudstone is a mudrock (a rock containing more than 50% silt- to clay-sized particles) in which between a third and two-thirds of the mud (silt and clay) fraction is clay particles. [7] [8] Another definition is that mudstone is a sedimentary rock in which neither silt, clay, nor coarser grains is predominant. [9]
Argillite (/ ˈ ɑːr dʒ ɪ l aɪ t /) is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed predominantly of indurated clay particles. Argillaceous rocks are basically lithified muds and oozes. They contain variable amounts of silt-sized particles. The argillites grade into shale when the fissile layering typical of shale is developed
Mudrocks, by definition, consist of at least fifty percent mud-sized particles. Specifically, mud is composed of silt-sized particles that are between 1/16 – 1/256 ((1/16) 2) of a millimeter in diameter, and clay-sized particles which are less than 1/256 millimeter.

Bentonite layers from an ancient deposit of weathered volcanic ash tuff in Wyoming Gray shale and bentonites (Benton Shale; Colorado Springs, Colorado). Bentonite (/ ˈ b ɛ n t ə n aɪ t / BEN-tə-nyte) [1] [2] is an absorbent swelling clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite (a type of smectite) which can either be Na-montmorillonite or Ca-montmorillonite.
