Indication

Some description need to add in certain


type of lithology:
Grain color - mainly to describe grains in loose sand
Cutting Shape - typically texture for soft sediment like
coal, shale and siltstone, but some features recognized
as pressure and bit type effect
Fissility - main internal structure to identified shale
Luster - mainly used for mineral or showing degree of
coal maturity
Crystallinity - specially used for limestone
