Inorganic fibrous clay minerals

According to well-known theoretical models, inorganic solids with high dielectric constant have a strong electroresponsive fibrous structure. Typical examples include Ti02, calcium, strontium or barium titanate precipitates [26], zeolite or clay-type minerals, and polar-molecule-dominated ERFs (PM-ERFs) [27]. 

The use of the terms, peat and muck, vary markedly from region to region and, obviously, there can be no clearly-defined line of demarcation between them. Suffice it to say that peats tend to be rather coarse, fibrous, materials mucks tend to be fine-grained, more colloidal, more decomposed, and behave more like inorganic soils because of particle size and higher percentage of mineral matter, particularly clays.
