ABSTRACT
The utilization of clay minerals has recently increased. As a result, the driving force behind this research project is to determine the sedimentological properties of Ofuhmwengbe clay deposits in edo state, Southern Nigeria. In this study, ten (5) fresh clay samples from Ofuhmwengbe were collected and subjected to particle size analysis to determine mineralogy and grain size using the hydrometer method. Soil texture is determined by the proportion of sand, silt, and clay in the soil, which influences soil properties such as nutrient retention and leaching, as well as water holding capacity and drainage. Based on their settling rates in an aqueous solution, the hydrometer method of particle size analysis calculates the physical proportions of these soil particles.
