Shale rocks are composed of fine-grained sedimentary particles, mainly clay minerals such as illite, kaolinite, and chlorite. They are known for their fissility, or tendency to split into thin layers along bedding planes. Shale rocks are commonly found in sedimentary basins and are an important source of natural gas and oil.
