Sandstone.
The second stage soft brown rock formed by layers of sand and mud covering peat is likely shale. Shale is a sedimentary rock composed of clay minerals and is formed from the compaction of mud or silt over long periods of time. It is commonly found in sedimentary basins where layers of organic matter like peat are buried and compressed.
Tiny pieces of rock are called 'grains' or 'particles'. These small fragments of rock can vary in size from sand grains to silt or clay particles.
Sand has the largest grain size compared to mud and clay. Sand particles range in size from 0.0625 mm to 2 mm, while mud and clay particles are much smaller, typically less than 0.002 mm in size.
The rock that is cemented mud, clay, or silt is called shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of compacted and hardened mud or clay particles.
Shale is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of fine-grained sediment such as mud or clay.

it is called SHALE :)

The most common sedimentary rock formed from mud or clay is shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock made up of compressed and hardened clay and silt particles. It typically exhibits a characteristic fissile (easily splitting into layers) structure.
