Sample of shale
Sample of shale. Shale is a dense sedimentary rock that forms when layers of mud are buried and compressed. Mud is largely composed of clay particles. When these are compacted the resulting layers can be readily separated along the clay particle surfaces. Shales are extremely common and may contain abundant fossils, including marine shells which are made of calcium carbonate. A shale rich in carbonate is termed calcarous

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing sample of shale, a dense sedimentary rock formed through the burial and compression of layers of mud. The intricate texture and geological beauty of this specimen are truly remarkable. Shale is predominantly composed of clay particles, which when compacted, allow for easy separation along their surfaces. Shales are incredibly common in nature and often contain an abundance of fossils, including marine shells made from calcium carbonate. When shale is rich in carbonate content, it is referred to as calcarous. This particular image captures the essence of this unique rock formation against a pristine white background. The still life composition emphasizes the individuality and distinctiveness of this mineral specimen. With its cut-out presentation, every detail can be appreciated with clarity. As an essential part of mineralogy and geology studies, this photograph serves as a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike.
