Fissured clay is a clay that cracks when it dries. Fissured clay can usually be brought back to an almost liquid state by applying a great deal of water to the clay. This type of clay is not used for products that carry or store liquids.
if too thick, it will get fissured
= China Clays = China Clays - What are the Differences?Ceramics? Stoneware? China? Bone China? The properties of clays include plasticity, shrinkage under firing and under air drying, fineness of grain, color after firing, hardness, cohesion, and capacity of the surface to take decoration. From these properties clays are divided into classes or groups; products are generally made from mixtures of clays and other substances. The purest clays are the china clays or kaolins. "Ball clay" is a name for a group of plastic, high-temperature clays used with other clays to improve their plasticity and to increase their strength.* http://www.he-and-she.com/english-china/china-clay.html

There is a wide variety of modelling clays: Mineral clays, are refined forms of the clay you may find in the ground, and are dense over two kg/lPolymer clays are much lighter, about 1 kg/land paper based clays can be very light, depending on their dryness.If you have an actual sample the best thing to do would be to measure it.
Once fired and hardened neither polymer clays (Fimo, Sculpey) or natural clays are biodegradable, as witness the many pottery remains still solid after thousands of years.

Clays are called exactly that - clays. Sometimes they will be referred to as targets or clay pidgeons, but I am not aware of any other commonly used terms for clays.
