what is weathering rock fragments?
Weathering is the alteration of rocks to more stable material from their exposure to the agents of air, water, and organic fluids. ... Mechanical weathering includes processes that fragment and disintegrate rocks into smaller pieces without changing the rock's mineral composition.

well in my believe you can think something else but weathering does NOT affect minerals!! :P
What is the mineral composition of mudstone?
composition of clay is complex because it is a product of weathering of pre existing rocks.Mineral composition of clay actually is of no importance
