shale (argillaceous rock, <sedimentary rock by composition>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Argillaceous sedimentary rock formed by the compaction of clay, silt, or mud; it may be gray, red, brown, or black. It is finely laminated and weak along planes allowing the rock to split easily. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Chinese (traditional) ..... 由黏土、淤泥或泥土壓密而成的泥質沈積岩,可能呈灰色、紅色、棕色或黑色。具有緻密的薄片狀層理,層面平行處較為脆弱,使得岩石容易裂開。 |
Dutch ..... Kleiachtig afzettingsgesteente, gevormd door de samenpersing van klei, slib of modder; kan grijs, rood, bruin of zwart zijn. Het bestaat uit fijne platen die vrij zwak zijn, waardoor het gesteente eenvoudig te splijten is. |
Spanish ..... Roca sedimentaria arcillosa formada por compactación de arcilla, légamo o barro. Puede ser gris, roja, marrón o negra. Está finamente laminada y es débil en los planos, de modo que puede ser dividida fácilmente.
