Devices, systems and methods for in-situ analysis of drilling fluid solids is provided. A system includes a digital imaging system and a computer system operatively coupled to the digital imaging system. The digital imaging system is coupled to a shale shaker. The shale shaker is positioned at a surface of the Earth adjacent a wellbore and configured to receive a drilling fluid including solid objects. The digital imaging system is configured to capture images or measurement data of the solid objects. The computer system includes processors, and a computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by the processors to perform operations. The operations include receiving the images or measurement data captured by the digital imaging system and determining one or more properties of a target solid object of the solid objects. The one or more properties include specific gravity or composition of the target solid object.
