Let’s see the differences and characteristics of each category and sub-category falls into Mudrock. Siltstone. It is usually gray, brown, or reddish brown. In general, therefore, slates Siltstone is available in brown, red, reddish brown colors whereas, Shale is available in black, brown, buff, green, grey, red, yellow colors. Mudrock is a parent class, and mudstone is a category. Siltstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of silt-sized particles. The only difference between mudstone and shale is that mudstones break into blocky pieces whereas shales break into thin chips with roughly parallel tops and bottoms. Mudstone Mudstone is an extremely fine-grained sedimentary rock consisting of a mixture of clay and silt-sized particles. In the case of siltstone and shale, the clasts are tiny silt and clay particles. Siltstone, Claystone, and mudstone are three categories of mudrock and shale and argillite are sub-categories of mudstone. Clay, shale, mudstone, siltstone and slate are all very fine-grained sedimentary rocks.
Mudstone is the one in the middle of the group. Sidmouth Mudstone Formation; Tarporley Siltstone Formation; Clearly, older schemes will remain in maps and literature well into the future, providing a source of potential confusion. It can also be white, yellow, green, red, purple, orange, black, and other colors.

Terms such as claystone and siltstone are often used in place of mudstone, although these refer to rocks whose grain size falls within much narrower ranges and under close examination these are often technically mudstones. Mudstone, siltstone and shale beds thicker and more numerous in central Newark basin west of Round Valley Reservoir. Siltstone, hardened sedimentary rock that is composed primarily of angular silt-sized particles (0.0039 to 0.063 mm [0.00015 to 0.0025 inch] in diameter) and is not laminated or easily split into thin layers. Shale or mudstone (Shale) (Mud rock) - is a kind of clay rock, formed from clay material after compaction, dehydration, recrystallization. Siltstone is a clastic sedimentary rock. Both are made of ancient mud. Appearance of Siltstone is Rough and that of Shale is Muddy. Types of Mudrock. Siltstone is a sedimentary rock that has a grain size in the silt range, finer than sandstone and coarser than claystones..

Their character, including hardness, can vary markedly depending on their geological age and the extent to which they have been buried and altered by tectonic events. As nouns the difference between mudstone and siltstone is that mudstone is (rock) a fine-grained sedimentary rock whose original constituents were clays or muds while siltstone is a sedimentary rock whose composition is intermediate in grain size between the coarser sandstone and the finer mudstone. and a rough-and-ready method I developed when I was a student was based on whether or not I could see the individual grains without the use of a magnifying lens. Also the formation of the rocks follows the same order. Siltstone can form into Mudstone Mudstone can be formed into Shale. The term Claystone is not one I am familiar with we normally refer to the rock clay and “clay”. Description. The Mercia Mudstone is a sequence of predominantly mudrock strata with subsidiary amounts of siltstone, sandstone, gypsum, anhydrite and halite.
It forms where water, wind, or ice deposit silt, and the silt is then compacted and cemented into a rock.. Silt accumulates in sedimentary basins throughout the world.
