Sintered, spherical composite pellets or particles comprising one or more clays as a major component and bauxite, alumina, or mixtures thereof, are described, along with the process for their manufacture. The pellets may have an alumina-silica (Al2O3-SiO2) ratio from about 9:1 to about 1:1 by weight. The use of such pellets in hydraulic fracturing of subterranean formations is also described.
