Geology

professors Warren Huff and David Nash were recently quoted in a Columbus Dispatch story about a Brown County man’s discovery of a massive, subterranean swath of pure clay on his property. In the story, Huff suggests a rudimentary test of the clay’s quality: “Put it in your mouth and rub it between your teeth. If it has the texture of toothpaste, then you know it’s a pure clay.”
