ELATERITE

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 160 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ECG-EMS
ELATERITE , also termed ELASTIC
BITUMEN
  and
MINERAL
  CAOUTCxouc, a
mineral
  hydrocarbon, which occurs at
Castleton
  in
Derbyshire
 , in the lead mines of Odin and elsewhere. It varies somewhat in consistency, being sometimes soft, elastic and sticky; often closely resembling india-
rubber
 ; and occasion-ally hard and brittle. It is usually dark
brown
  in colour and slightly translucent. A substance of similar
physical
 
character
  is found in the Coorong
district
  of
South
  Australia, and is hence termed coorongite, but Prof. Ralph Tate considers this to be a vegetable product.
