What is shales made up of?
Yes. It is made out if clay. The difference between just clay and shale is that the shale consists of compacted clay. Because of compaction, the clay particles (which are flaky) tend to align themselves resulting in varying degrees of fissility. If shale is even more compacted, it will turn into a slate, which is no longer a sedimentary but a metamorphic rock.
