⁻ Rocks of low radioactivity include primarily clean sandstones, limestones, and dolomites.
⁻ Anhydrite, halite, lignite and coal have also a low radioactivity. Their radioactivity increases when they are shaly.
⁻ Ordinary shales have a much higher radioactivity than the rocks listed above. The radioactivity of sandy shales is less than that of shales.

⁻ Clean sandstones, limestones, and dolomites give low value of gamma ray log
⁻ Anhydrite, halite and gypsum have low radioactivity.
⁻ lignite and coal show very low values on gamma ray log.
⁻ Gamma ray log is good shale indicator.⁻ Organic rich black shales give very
high value on log.
