• Despite the existence of an established convention for abbreviating rock-forming minerals (Kretz, 1983), there is still a wide range of symbols used in the clay minerals community that often follow no common set of rules. Following a check of 166 post-millennium research articles (not journal-specific) in the author's literature collection, which were compiled using the Internet search words ‘clay minerals’ and ‘quantification’, a total of 472 mineral abbreviations common to clay materials and clay-sized (<2 μm) fractions were examined. The compilation of abbreviations is also largely compatible with The Canadian Mineralogist symbol list of rock- and ore-forming minerals (https://www.mineralogicalassociation.ca/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/symbols.pdf).
