Slate
Slate is a fine-grained,
foliated, homogeneous
metamorphic rock derived from an original
shale-type
sedimentary rock composed of
clay or
volcanic ash through low-grade regional
metamorphism. It is the finest grained foliated metamorphic rock. Foliation may not correspond to the original sedimentary layering, but instead is in planes perpendicular to the direction of metamorphic compression.
