What is the difference between shale and limestone?

Answer 1

limestone: pavement and shale:Shale Sedimentary Rock. Gray rock fromed in deep sections of the ocean from clay. Shale is a very common rock worldwide that can be split into layers. An information card with details on the rocks formation, mineral content, characteristics and uses is included.

Answer 2

Sedimentary rocks include sand, chalk and Limestone. They are rich in calcium as they are mixed with shells mixed within it. Fossils are found often in them as when fish die they land on the bottom and are compressed with sediments landing on them and covering them. They are eroded easily by acid rain, despite many buildings and monuments being made out of them

Answer 3

Shale is formed from the accumulation of clay and silicate minerals which are too small to be seen without a microscope. Shale has visible layers that can be separated with a knife or other similar instrument. Shale is usually dark in color.

Limestone is formed in a variety of ways, but usually from the accumulation of the skeletal remains of small marine organisms. These skeletal remains are composed of the minerals calcite or aragonite. A hand specimen of limestone can appear layered or non-layered and the layers are not easily separated or as thin as with shale. Limestone varies in color from dark gray to light tan.
