CONISSALÆ, in natural history, a class of fossils, naturally and essentially compounded, not inflammable, nor soluble in water, found in detached masses, and formed of crystalline matter debased by earth.

Of this class there are two orders, and of each of these only one genus. Conissalæ of the first order are found in form of a naturally regular and uniform powder, all the genuine particles of which are nearly of one determinate shape, appearing regularly connected, and not fragments of others once larger. Conissalæ of the second order are found in form of a rude, irregular, and shapeless powder, the particles of which are never of any determinate particular figure, but seem broken fragments of some once larger masses.

To the former genus belong the different kinds of sand; and to the latter, the saburrae, or grits.
