argillaceous means - resembling or containing clay; "argillaceous rocks" 
Argillaceous rocks (or argillites) are clayey sedimentary rocks of fine-grained sediments composed of particles that are less than 0.0625 mm in size. Mudstones, clays, shales, marls, and silts are all examples. Most argillaceous rocks contain material of two types: clay minerals and rock flour, the latter consisting of very fine particles of quartz, feldspar, and other rock-forming minerals. The great majority of argillaceous rocks have been deposited in water, whether in the sea, in estuaries, or in lakes. There are also terrestrial deposits in this category, such as loess and clays of glacial origin. 



arenaceous means-resembling or containing or abounding in sand; or growing in sandy areas; "arenaceous limestone"; "arenaceous grasses" 
The arenaceous rocks (arenites) include all those classic rocks whose particle sizes range from 0.8 to 0.0025 in. (2 to 1/16 mm), or if silt is included, to 1/256 mm. Some arenites are composed primarily of carbonate particles, in which case they are called calcarenites and grouped with the limestones. Some oolitic iron ores and glauconite beds are properly classified as arenites. But the vast majority of arenites are commonly called sandstones, and the two words are almost synonymous.
