What are four kinds of sedimentary rock?
here are four easy types of sedimentary rocks: limestone, sandstone, shale, and coal. =)
What are examples clastic sedimentary?
Sandstone, conglomerate, and breccia are examples of clastic sedimentary rock, composed of particles of other rocks.
What is a nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone?
Contact metamorphism takes place locally near igneous intrusions. It is caused by low to moderate pressure, intense heat, and reactions to magma that is being metamorphosed. When contact metamorphism takes place with mudstone or shale (sedimentary rocks) slate is formed. The mudstone or shale is the parent rock or protolith.
The main difference between a mudstone and shale is what?
Shale - a sedimentary rock formed from clay or mud by considerable pressure. splits easy into thin laminations along its bedding planes and shrinks when dried out cracking to form pieces that often curl slightly to resemble tiles. when moistened it has an earthy smell Mudstone - a fine textured sedimentary rock similar to shale but is compact and is not, like shale, arranged in bedding planes
Why rocks are formed?
eroded rock (from igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary) settled. they compact together to form a rock. the rock that they form is known as sedimentary rock
Is mudstone a Metamorphic rock?
Mudstone is the fine grained sedimentary rock that were clays or muds originally.

What type of a rock is mudstone?
Mudstone is a clastic sedimentary rock.
What are mudstones?

What type of rock is the calcareous mudstone?
Sedimentary
What type of rock is limestone sandstone and mudstone made of?
Sedimentary rock
How is mudstone made?
Mudstone is a mudrock. It is made of clay minerals and other very small pieces of rock. Mudstone is sedimentary.
Sedimentary rock that is made from clays is called?
Mudstone or shale.
What mineral is a mudstone?
Mustone is a clastic sedimentary rock, not a mineral.
Why is mudstone a sedimentary rock?
It is made from sediment that has collected, mud is considered a sediment
What type of sedimentary rock is typically metamorphosed to form slates or phyllites?
shale or mudstone
What is the common rock for finding fossils?
Any sedimentary rock, including limestone, shale, sandstone, mudstone, ironstone, and slate.
