∙ 15y agoShale is a sedimentary rock that is not classified as foliated or nonfoliated. Foliation is a term used to describe the appearance of metamorphic rocks. Foliated rocks have a layered look to them. Slate is a fine grained metamorphic rock and is foliated. Gneiss rocks are much more coarse grained and exhibit a more clear example of foliation, with alternating layers of light and dark minerals.
