How would you distinguish a sample of peat from a sample of mudstone that contains fossil plant fragments?

Peat is a type of organic-rich soil made up of decomposing plant material, while mudstone is a fine-grained sedimentary rock made up of clay and silt particles. To distinguish between the two, you can perform tests like observing the color and texture of the samples, conducting a chemical analysis, and looking for specific plant fossils within the samples. The presence of distinct plant fragments in the mudstone may indicate its origin from peat deposits that underwent compaction and lithification.
