Yes, contact metamorphism can change a shale into a phyllite. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that can undergo low-grade metamorphism when exposed to high temperatures and pressures near a magmatic intrusion. This process can transform the shale into a phyllite, which is a low-grade metamorphic rock with a glossy sheen and wavy foliation.

The cost of a pallet of General Shale brick can vary depending on the specific type and quantity of bricks being purchased, as well as the location of the supplier. It is best to contact a General Shale distributor or retailer directly for an accurate price quote.
Contact metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels. This process occurs when rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures due to contact with a magma intrusion, leading to the recrystallization of minerals in the original rock. Hornfels is typically formed under these conditions and is characterized by a fine-grained, non-foliated texture.
Burial metamorphism differs from regional and contact metamorphism in that it is the result of rocks being buried deeper into the earth's crust through tectonic movements.
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.

Shale is the most likely sedimentary rock to be changed into slate during regional metamorphism. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of clay minerals, which are easily recrystallized under heat and pressure to form the dense, foliated texture characteristic of slate.
Shale (a sedimentary rock) transforms naturally into slate (a metamorphic rock) after millions of years of burial deep in the crust under high temperature and pressure. It it not possible to artificially transform shale into slate.
Shale can be metamorphosed into slate through the process of low-grade regional metamorphism, which involves heat and pressure causing the minerals within the shale to recrystallize into a fine-grained, foliated structure characteristic of slate.

During the intrusion of the Palisades Sill, contact metamorphism changed sandstone and shale into quartzite and hornfels. Quartzite forms from the recrystallization of quartz sandstone, while hornfels forms from the alteration of shale due to high temperatures and pressures near the igneous intrusion.

contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
