About Argillite
A mudstone with variable amounts of silt-sized particles composed predominantly of indurated clay particles.
A compact rock derived either from mudstone (claystone or siltstone), or shale, that has undergone a somewhat higher degree of induration than mudstone or shale but is less clearly laminated and without its fissility, and that lacks the cleavage distinctive of slate.
