I know, but as I said, where does the pure Earth Release fit in? If it's the clay, the hand seal doesn't make sense, because the clay was already there, so Deidara had no reason to produce more.

Also, I checked the fight again and he uses the Earth seal when he let's his C4 explode. Not when he mixes the clay with chakra. I can't see why the Earth release sign should not stand in direct relation to the explosion.

Hmm, in this case, we have two advanced natures used in tandem (similar to what Naruto and Sasuke did with "Scorch Release"). In Dust Release's case, we have three basic natures combined. So that doesn't add up.
