What type of sedimentary rock is typically metamorphosed to form slates or phyllites?
shale or mudstone
Are sandstone and mudstone sedimentary rocks?
no not all of them for example like Bituminous coal or coal, is form by plant remains
Does mudstone contain crystals?
Yes, however, those crystals are extremely small; some too small to be seen even by a microscope.
Is mudstone igneous or metamorphic?
Yes, that is exactly what happens:limestone metamorphoses to marblemudstone and shale metamorphose to slatebituminous coal metamorphoses to anthracite coaletc.
Is marbel a mineral?
yes it is a mineral
Is mudstone a rock or a mineral?
Mudstone is a clasitc sedimentary rock.
How can mudstone be changed into a metamorphic rock?
Mudstone can be changed into a metamorphic rock through the process of metamorphism, where it is subjected to high temperature and pressure. This causes recrystallization of minerals, reorganization of grains, and the development of new mineral assemblages, transforming the mudstone into a new metamorphic rock such as slate, schist, or gneiss.
Is mudstone igneous or sedimentary?
Mudstone is sedimentary
Is phyllite a mineral or a rock?
Phyllite is a type of metamorphic rock, not a mineral. It is formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone and has a fine-grained texture with a silky sheen due to the alignment of its minerals.
What type of a rock is mudstone?
Mudstone is a clastic 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.
What is oil shales texture?
Oil shale has a fine-grained texture, similar to mudstone or siltstone. It is composed of a mixture of organic matter, clay, and mineral grains.
Which rock has the smallest particles mudstone or conglomerate?
mudstone has smaller particles :D
What is another name for shale?
Another name for shale is mudstone
Slate is a denser version of?
Slate is metamorphosed shale or mudstone.
What g is the final thing that mudstone can turn into if the temperature and pressure are high enough?
If mudstone is subjected to high temperature and pressure over geological time, it can ultimately metamorphose into schist or gneiss, depending on the specific conditions and mineral composition. Schist typically forms under moderate to high-grade metamorphic conditions, while gneiss represents a higher grade of metamorphism with pronounced banding and foliation. Both are examples of metamorphic rocks derived from mudstone.
What are some examples of a fine-grained rock?
Examples of fine-grained rocks include shale, mudstone, siltstone, and some varieties of basalt. These rocks have small mineral grains that are not easily visible to the naked eye and typically form in environments with slow cooling or deposition rates.
