Spanish term

material tobáceo

Spanish to English Science Geology type of rock
Saludos a todos. La frase original, de un reporte geológico: "Ocasionalmente se encuentran niveles de limoarcillitas gris verdosas a cremas en estratos delgados y algunos niveles claros que podrían corresponder a material TOBÁCEO."
No encuentro a qué se refiere tobáceo. He encontrado TOBA (roca ígnea volcánica) que en inglés es volcanic tuff, pero no sé si refiere a lo mismo. Y en Google hay TOBACEOUS pero en traducciones mejicanas, argentinas, y colombianas lo cual no me da mucha seguridad. Necesito alguien que sepa de geología, por favor.
