X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis data are presented for colloid fractions from a soil and shales containing a vermiculite and a montmorillonoid; a chlorite and a vermiculite-chlorite mixed-layer mineral; and a montmorillonoid and a vermiculile-chlorite mixed-layer mineral. The minerals were identified by heating the clay fractions at various temperatures and by treating them with ethylene glycol and/or ammonium chloride.
