Limestone: very fine sand and silty size calcite fragments in which the particles have been largely recrystallized to form diagenetic cement; the original calcite particles are thus largely obscured or obliterated; a few larger shell fragments may be present.
Siliceous shale: shale more or less cemented either diagenetically or secondarily by chert, commonly as layers in siltstone and shale units.
Other terminology follows Dunbar and Rodgers (1957).
