A silver halide photographic material having, in a hydrophilic colloid layer, silver halide grains of a dual structure with core and shell which have been ripened without fogging is disclosed. The outermost shell portion of each of the grains has a silver halide composition such that it contains a rhodium atom and at least 80 mol % of silver chloride. The contents of silver chloride and rhodium in the outermost shell portion of each grain are greater than those for the core.
