How would you distinguish a sample of calcarenite from a sample of mudstone with fossil shells?

Calcarenite has sandsized shell fragments and sometimes a few larger whole fossil shells. Mudstone is mostly comprised of silt or clay and may or maynot contain fossils, the mudstone will break, fissil, or crumble.


How do you distinguish a sample of a calcarenite fossiliferous limestone from a sample of carbonite mudstone with fossil shells?

One way to distinguish between the samples is to examine the grain size and texture: calcarenite fossiliferous limestone typically has larger grains and a coarser texture compared to the finer grains and smoother texture of carbonite mudstone with fossil shells. Additionally, conducting a chemical test such as a reaction with acid can help differentiate between the two types of rock, since limestone will fizz when it comes in contact with acid due to its calcium carbonate content.
