Shale is sedimentary, and is normally formed at the bottom of bodies of water. It is today found on mountaintops sometimes, but that is because of the "pushing up" action of plate tectonics.
It is most commonly found at ground level, though.
Shale rocks turn into clay. The pressure make shale into clay.
Mos flat rocks are sedimentary, with shale being a prime example. Shale forms from fine sediment being laid down in layers and then later hardened into rock, with the layers preserved. Slate is a metamorphic rock derived from shale that still preserves the layering.

Rocks don't come in particular sizes. Shale is a type of rock - it can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a mountain range
Shale, a sedimentary rock.
Clay rocks are made of the smallest sediment particles. These fine-grained particles are typically less than 0.002 mm in size and form rocks such as shale or mudstone.
Sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and compaction of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. These rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Fossils could form in shale. Halite is table salt, a mineral with a crystalline structure that is not compatible with understood fossil formation methods.
Clay deposits can form sedimentary rocks like shale or mudstone through compaction and cementation over time. These rocks are characterized by fine grains and typically exhibit layering due to the gradual accumulation of sediments in depositional environments such as lakes, rivers, or oceans.
Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the breakdown of larger rocks through weathering and erosion. The resulting sediments are deposited and undergo compaction and cementation to form rocks like sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.

No, shale rocks are not typically attracted to a magnet because they are composed primarily of clay minerals and other non-magnetic materials. Magnetism is generally not a characteristic of shale rocks.
slate
Shale rocks are formed in the deep waters of swaps, oceans and lakes where the water is still and the fine clay and silt particles are able to settle to the floor. Shale rocks can easily erode due to weathering.
Shale can metamorphose through heat and pressure into slate.
