A shallow epicontinental seaway and a continental shelf are the sites where organic-rich mudstone from the Late Cretaceous Lower Eagle Ford Formation in west Texas was deposited.
A seaway lock is what?
- The world's most amazing lift system is made up of all the locks put together.
- Ships up to 225.5 meters long (740 feet) and 23.8 meters wide (78 feet) are regularly hoisted to a height of more than 180 meters above sea level, which is equivalent to a 60-story structure.
What is mudstone?
- A form of mud rock known as mudstone is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that was originally composed of mud or clay.
- Shale differs from mudstone in that it is less brittle (parallel layering).
- Additionally, carbonate rocks (such as limestone or dolomite) that are mostly made of carbonate mud are referred to as mudstones.
- However, the name most often refers to siliciclastic mudstone, which is primarily made up of silicate minerals.
