Abstract
Based upon our experience, we suggest studying the fabrics of argillaceous rocks by combining three techniques: x-radiography, petrography, and scanning electron microscopy. Each provides useful information of macrofabrics revealed by radiography and thin-sections, and microfabrics revealed with the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Thus, argillaceous rock fabric analysis is a three-step procedure.
