Sedimentary Rock - Shale Composition & Structure

The shales are very fine-grained sedimentary rocks which have been formed by the consolidation of beds of mud, clay or silt. They have usually a thinly laminated structure. Their color is commonly some tone of gray, although they may be white, yellow, brown, green to black. They are composed chiefly of kaolin, mica, etc., but are too fine-grained to permit the cognition of their minerals constituents by the eye alone. By the introduction of quartz and an increase in the size of grain they grade into the sandstones.
