• Tonstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Tonsteins are a distinctive type of rock, composed largely of the mineral kaolin. Tonsteins occur in association with coals in the Carboniferous strata of Europe. The individual beds of tonstein are thin but laterally very extensive. The regional persistence of tonsteins suggests that they formed as a result of the alteration of volcanic ash falls. [1] Tonsteins are tough indurated rocks, while younger kaolin claystones are generally softer, white, and plastic.[2]

• Palygorskite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Palygorskite (also known as attapulgite) is a magnesium aluminium phyllosilicate with formula (Mg,Al)2Si4O10 (OH)·4(H2O) which occurs in a type of clay soil common to the Southeastern United States. It is one of the types of fuller's earth. When used in medicine, it physically binds to acids and toxic substances in the stomach and digestive tract. For that reason, it has often been used in antidiarrheal medications. From the early 1990s until 2003, it was the active ingredient used in Kaopectate (replacing Kaolinite), before that product was reformulated with bismuth subsalicylate. Like bismuth, it is not absorbed into the body, however the two work differently.
