Mudstone - Wikipedia
Mudstone, a type of mudrock, is a fine-grained sedimentary rock whose original constituents were clays or muds. Mudstone is distinguished from shale by its lack of fissility. [1] [2] The term mudstone is also used to describe carbonate rocks (limestone or dolomite) that are composed predominantly of carbonate mud. [3]

2023年11月22日 · Mudstone is a type of sedimentary rock that is characterized by its fine-grained nature and is composed primarily of silt- and clay-sized particles. It is one of the most common sedimentary rocks and plays a significant role in the field of geology.
Mudstone | Clay, Shale, Siltstone | Britannica
Mudstone, sedimentary rock composed primarily of clay- or silt-sized particles (less than 0.063 mm [0.0025 inch] in diameter); it is not laminated or easily split into thin layers. Some geologists designate as mudstone any similar rock that is blocky or …

2023年1月3日 · Mudstone is the preferred general term for the large group of fine-grained siliciclastic rocks, composed primarily of particles 63 μm in size. Mudstones (mudstones) are the most abundant sedimentary rocks, constituting at least 50% of the sedimentary rocks in the stratigraphic record.
Mudstone - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Mudstone is a type of sedimentary rock that consists of a variety of types, including siltstone, claystone, and mixtures of the two. It can form thick intervals in deepwater settings and is important as it forms boundaries, seals, and baffles for reservoirs.
Mudrock - Wikipedia
Mudrocks are a class of fine-grained siliciclastic sedimentary rocks. The varying types of mudrocks include siltstone, claystone, mudstone and shale. Most of the particles of which the stone is composed are less than mm (0.0625 mm; 0.00246 in) and are too small to …
What is Mudstone? (with pictures) - AllTheScience
2024年5月21日 · Mudstone is a common sedimentary rock with a very fine-grained texture that is sometimes called by various other names such as mudrock, argillite, claystone and siltstone. Shale is also a type of mudstone rock but differs from most other kinds of mudstones in that it is made up of visible layers.
Mudstone - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mudstone is a siliciclastic sedimentary rock which has a mixture of silt- and clay-sized particles (at least 1/3 of each). [1] So, a mudstone is a type of mudrock with a more varied grain size than either siltstones or claystones .
Mudstones - AAPG Wiki
2023年12月4日 · Fine-grained sedimentary rocks (e.g., shale, mudrock, mudstone, claystone, chert, or chalk) are the most common rocks in the stratigraphic column. They preserve the best archives of Earth’s history for interpreting paleoclimate and paleo-oceanography; influence the flow of groundwater and hydrocarbons; serve as hydrocarbon source, reservoir ...
Geological Society - Mudstone
Mudstone is made up of tiny clay particles (less than 0.05mm) that can’t be seen with the naked eye. These tiny particles are deposited in quiet low-energy environments like tidal flats, lakes, and the deep sea.
