When this rock was in ground, it was so compacted that you hardly could find voids, empty spaces and cracks.
But when it was drilled, cored with water and took out from 18.2m below ground level, the rock splits at its weak planes originated from laminated layers during deposition. This Shale rock also cracks vertically and diagonally due to rough handling, although in nature it can crack due to weathering and geological processes.
