No references to the species nor is it from an environment conducive to the presence/formation this species, (so far as has been observed to my knowlwdge) so yes, what justifies this I.D.?
Old nomenclature of particular interest to me, though not even likely a valid species in the smectite group. Here is a rare old sample I have from the type local, via Ward & Howell (circa 1875-1891) redefinition was never made on the labeling.
