English term or phrase: aqualude
Same problem as before, I cannot find any translation for this word.

The parallel orientation of mineralization suggests the overlying clay-rich unit, known as the Ferruginous Breccia, a generally matrix-supported, locally tectonized, clay-rich, polymictic mass potentially acts an **aqualude** confining layer to fluid movement.

Thank you!
