Oh Sugar, now I'm in it! I also thought of shale too, that's why I wanted confirmation.
Are you there Lie-in King to put us out of our misery?

3D COULD IT ALSO BE SHALE?

[ownlie22]

slate is a metamorphic rock
shale is a sedimentary rock so the answer is shale

[redman41]

sedimentary rock is shale, the most abundant of all sedimentary rocks. Shale forms when mud and clay harden. Because the clay sediments are extremely small, they settle out slowly.

Thanks Redman. How are you?

[redman41]

Pretty good Paross thanks ! Did you enjoy your stay in London and seen any good shows ?

[paross]

I did. Found (online)a great central 4* hotel WITH breakfast that was only 70.50 for 2 -TOTAL!!!
On the Monday (my birthday) we saw 'Blood Brothers' and on the Tuesday afternoon we saw 'Phantom of the Opera'. They were both very good. You've got a good memory!

[redman41]

Memory is OK at present. What did you say your name was again ? lol
Keep smiling !!
