Yes it is, another evapourite rock would be dolomite. There are also many evapourite minerals.

Describe the sequence of events in the formation of an evaporite?
This forms in bodies of water in which water evaporates faster than it is receiving rain. (This process is called precipitation) This causes the minerals in the water to be left behind, in which they become a rock. (An evaporite) examples of an evaporite is Gypsum.
Is shale coarse grained?
shale is fine
What is an example of a detrital sedimentaryrock limestone breccia evaporite or chalk?
breccia
Is slate harder than shale?
No. Slate is harder. Slate is shale that has been heated and compressed.
Is shale a biochemical rock?
No. Shale is a clastic sedimentary rock.
What are some evaporite minerals?
Halite and gypsum are two examples of evaporite minerals.
What are three common evaporite minerals?
Evaporite minerals are water-soluble mineral sediments that were formed from precipitation. The three common evaporite minerals are gypsum, anhydrite and halite.
Give an example of an evaporite rock?
Rock gypsum and rock salt are two examples of sedimentary evaporite rocks.
What is a diapir structure formed by evaporite minerals?
Evaporite minerals are minerals found in sedimentary rocks that are formed as precipitates from the evaporation of a saline solution. A diapir structure formed by evaporite minerals is a salt dome.

Is shale gas found under the see?
It can be. It is found in a rock type called shale and is produced in the shale form the original bio mater included in the deposition of the shale. If a unit of shale lithology is to be found on the continental shelf strata then it is likely that that shale will contain shale gas and it will be under the sea.
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
