Siltstone is gritty to the touch. It has the texture of a very fine-grained sandpaper
Siltstone is a sedimentary rock. It forms on river beds when silt compressed together.
Siltstone is a sedimentary rock composed of cemented silt-sized particles of quartz and feldspar, primarily.
They are references to the rock's texture.
shale, siltstone, sandstone, and breccia are some.
the particle size of the sediments within the rock
siltstone
Siltstone is a sedimentary rock. It forms on river beds when silt compressed together.
Siltstone can be formed from the eroded and transported particles of any rock type.
Sedimentary rocks
Siltstone is a sedimentary rock that formed in ancient marine environments. Shale was also formed this way and is a sedimentary rock.
It doesn't. The grain size effects the texture. If a rock has a small grain size, it will have a smooth texture. If the grain size is large, such as pebbles, the texture will be rough. For example, siltstone is one of the smoothest rocks because it contains silt particles, which are .0004cm to .006cm. Conglomerate though contains various particles including cobbles and boulders, which are from 10cm to 100cm.
Limestone and siltstone
Siltstone.
Siltstone is a sedimentary rock composed of cemented silt-sized particles of quartz and feldspar, primarily.
Both sandstone and siltstone are clastic sedimentary rocks formed by broken fragments of rock being deposited and then turned into solid rock by heat and pressure. The main difference is in grain size. Sandstone has larger grains than siltstone.
Oil shale has a fine-grained texture, similar to mudstone or siltstone. It is composed of a mixture of organic matter, clay, and mineral grains.
