The fabric of a rock is the total of all textural and structural features (Whitten and Brooks, 1972). Texture is defined as the relationship between the particles that form a rock, and structure has to do with discontinuities and major inhomogeneities. Both are intrinsic properties of the rock that serve as guides to its origins (Pettijohn and Potter, 1964), as well as providing a basic rationale for the study of mudstone fabrics.
