Yes. Fine grained means the grains in the rock are very small. The smaller the grains, the smoother the rock.

What are three types of sedimentary rock texture?
Coarse grained, Medium grained, and fine grained.
Is metamorphic rock rough or smooth?
Metamorphic rock can be coarse grained or fine grained.
What fine grained sedimentary rock is used as a fertiliser?
marl
Why are raindrop impressions are preserved in in fine grained sedimentary rock rather than a coarse grained?
because raindrops have small particles and coarse grained sedimentary rocks have big particles so it is easier for raindrop impressions to occur in fine grained sedimentary rocks
Is limestone coarse grained or fine grained?
Fine grained rock exhibits a non-visible or nearly non-visible crystalline structure on a fractured surface. On the opposite end, a coarse grained rock exhibits mineral crystals of the rock's constituents on a fractured surface. The larger the crystals, the coarser grained is the rock. Basalt would be an example of a fine grained rock. Granite would be an example of a coarse grained rock.

What type of rock is a stiltstone?
Siltstone is a fine-grained sedimentary rock consisting of consolidated silt.
