Mudrock
Mudrocks are a class of fine grained siliciclastic sedimentary rocks. The varying types of mudrocks include: siltstone, claystone, mudstone, slate, and shale. Most of the particles are less than 0.0625 mm (1/16th mm or 0.0025 inches) and are too small to study readily in the field. At first sight the rock types look quite similar; however, there are important differences in composition and nomenclature. There has been a great deal of disagreement involving the classification of mudrocks. There are a few important hurdles to classification, including:
Mudrocks make up fifty percent of the sedimentary rocks in the geologic record, and are easily the most widespread deposits on Earth. Fine sediment is the most abundant product of erosion, and these sediments contribute to the overall omnipresence of mudrocks. With increased pressure over time the platey clay minerals may become aligned, with the appearance of fissility or parallel layering. This finely bedded material that splits readily into thin layers is called shale, as distinct from mudstone. The lack of fissility or layering in mudstone may be due either to original texture or to the disruption of layering by burrowing organisms in the sediment prior to lithification.

The Universal Paradox VS The Red Organ
by: ClosedownI hate the sound, of every object
Of everything she could have touched,
( Of everything she could have touched )
But I keep them anyway, Oh please help me out
Please help me out ladies and gentlemen !
I know I can touch the surface but she’s underwater
It’s kinda strange cause, the fire still burns underwater !
The day, or the night I don’t bother
It feels like a forseable murder
In wich I am no more the killer
But the Cure !
Oh David you know this is urgent
This is urgent ladies and gentlemen !
We had to find a way to understand all the moves
That she wanted me to dance
We had to find a way to kill the sound of the voice
Telling me how much you’re worth
And then I’ve burned my hopes
Pretending it was nothing more
( Spoken part )
Ok ladies and gentlemen
If you can take something out of this
This is like a learning process
Now you can close your eyes and take a breath
Let’s pretend we’re wearing the same skin
You are holding the mike
There will be like a connection or something...
( Back to singing )
I got something in my neck
It feels like everything she could have done
It’s cold and rough and
It reminds me the way she use to speak...
Sing the words you don’t know
As we sing the sound from the Organ
You won’t remember where you go !
And where you were !
You won’t remember where you go !
And where you were !
