But not all rocks are shale.

This reminds me of an individual from South America who gave a speech in our Toastmaster club about his mother in law who had kidney stones, only he called them kidney rocks.

Words have meaning and rocks to me are those things I picked up out of the field as a kid(grin).

I blame it on the reporter who didn’t know how to spell shale but could spell rock.
