1. claystone

   Mudrocks are a class of fine-grained siliciclastic sedimentary rocks. The varying types of mudrocks include siltstone, claystone, mudstone, slate, and shale. Most of the particles of which the stone is composed are less than 1⁄16 mm (0.0625 mm; 0.00246 in) and are too small to study readily in the field. At first sight, the rock types appear quite similar; however, there are important differences in composition and nomenclature.

1. claystone

   Claystone is a fine-grained, compact sedimentary rock primarily composed of tiny clay particles or clay minerals. These particles have been hardened by heat and pressure over time. This rock type is often distinguished from shale by its lack of fissility, meaning it does not easily split into thin, flat layers.

1. Claystone

   Claystone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed primarily of clay-sized particles. Claystone does not include clay shales, which are rocks that are laminated or easily split into thin layers. Claystones are also distinct from mudstones, which are partly hardened muds that slake when wetted; claystone is fully hardened material.
