- Siltstone is a sedimentary rock which has a grain size in the silt range, finer than sandstone and coarser than claystones.
- (Siltstones) Sedimentary rocks containing particles of silt grade (1/256 to 1/16 mm in diameter)..
- A fine-grained sedimentary rock composed mostly of silt-size particles.
- A rock composed of hardened silt, a fine sedimentary material.
- Is primarily composed of silt sized particles. Siltstones differ significantly from sandstones due to their smaller pores and higher propensity for containing a significant clay fraction. (Wikipedia)
- Similar to shale, but has greater than 2/3 silt and lacks the fine laminations.
- Indurated silt having a texture similar to shale but usually lacking its fine lamellar structure; at least two-thirds of the material should be silt size. (Source: Mitchell, Richard Scott. 1985. Dictionary of Rocks. Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York.)
